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.
