Dave Sims Set to Succeed John Sterling as Yankees Radio Broadcaster
The veteran Mariners announcer is nearing a deal to become the new voice of Yankees radio, replacing the retiring John Sterling.
- Dave Sims, a longtime Mariners broadcaster, is in final negotiations to join WFAN as the Yankees' new play-by-play announcer.
- John Sterling, who retired earlier this year at 86, briefly returned for the Yankees' postseason but will not continue in 2025.
- Sims, 71, previously worked at WFAN and is known for his engaging commentary and signature calls.
- The Yankees and WFAN have reportedly agreed on Sims as the best candidate, with Suzyn Waldman continuing as his partner.
- Rickie Ricardo and other broadcasters filled in after Sterling's initial retirement, but Sims emerged as the preferred choice.
