WEEI plans platoon beside Joe Castiglione on Red Sox broadcasts

While pitchers and catchers officially reported to Fort Myers, Fla., on Tuesday as the Red Sox commence spring training and their World Series title defense, the team’s flagship radio station has just about finalized its roster of broadcasters.

And there’s going to be a prominent platoon.

Joe Castiglione, who has been part of the Red Sox’ radio broadcast team since 1983, is back for his 37th season. But the spot vacated when Tim Neverett, who had been Castiglione’s partner on WEEI’s broadcasts for the past three seasons, chose not to renew his contract in December, will not be filled by a single play-by-play voice or analyst.
