Yankees, Red Sox Icons to Call Game
The former stars will call the rivalry game in the broadcast booth and are expected to host guests throughout the telecast, The Athletic reported.
- Derek Jeter, Alex Rodriguez, and David Ortiz will join host Kevin Burkhardt in the Fox broadcast booth for the June 6th Yankees-Red Sox game at Yankee Stadium.
- While the trio typically provides studio commentary for Fox during events like the World Series, this matchup marks a specific shift to game-calling for the rivalry.
- Fox president Brad Zager told The Athletic the broadcast will prioritize "depth of storytelling" over statistics, with a "free-flowing" style as guests drift in and out.
- Following Fox's coverage of the Belmont Stakes, Jeter and Ortiz will debut as game analysts, despite their legendary status and 130 games played together between the teams.
- Entering Saturday, the Yankees hold second place in the American League East, while the Red Sox occupy last place, with both clubs seeking improvement before June.
