NESN Extends Tom Caron's Contract

The move locks the veteran broadcaster in through spring training 2028 to preserve on-air continuity and guard against a possible Major League Baseball work stoppage.

Overview

  • NESN announced the extension on Wednesday that keeps Tom Caron under contract and Boston.com reported the network exercised a one-year option to add an extra season.
  • The deal secures Caron’s role as NESN’s primary Red Sox studio host and host of the podcast 310 to Left.
  • The contract also preserves Caron’s offseason duties calling the Beanpot and NESN’s Hockey East championship broadcasts.
  • Caron has been with NESN since 1995 and is a 13-time New England Emmy winner who also serves as co-chair of the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute’s Jimmy Fund.
  • By extending the deal now NESN maintains broadcast stability for viewers and delays a new negotiation until spring training 2028, which could matter if MLB labor talks disrupt the 2027 season.
