Wayne Randazzo will not be returning to the Mets’ WCBS radio booth.
Randazzo, who became the second play-by-play broadcaster on the Mets stand in 2019 when he partnered with Howie Rose, is leaving, the Post’s Andrew Marchand confirmed on Monday. Marchand adds that Randazzo should become the main television voice of the Angels, but nothing has been signed yet.
Newsday’s Neil Best was the first to break the news of Randazzo’s departure.
Randazzo, 38, grew up outside of Chicago. From 2012 to 2014, he hosted games for the Kane County Cougars, currently a minor league affiliate of the Diamondbacks, but previously an affiliate of the Royals and Cubs.
Randazzo also called college baseball and softball games on Big Ten Network.
When asked to describe his style of spreading, Randazzo told The Post in 2019 how “pretty simple” he was.
“I like to break it down and get into analytics a bit more because teams rely on it more. … I love baseball more than anything. I know there are advertisers, not to name names, who might experience the game differently as it changes and I love baseball the way it is. As steward of this particular game on this day, I plan to write 162 love letters and hope that the joy I have just being around baseball will spread to the fans who are listening,” he said at the time.
It’s not immediately clear who Randazzo’s successor will be on the Mets’ stand.
Jake Eisenberg, who replaced some games on Mets radio shows last year, recently accepted a job with the Royals.
