The new Mets booth will start on a short leash

The Mets’ radio broadcasts will have a different sound next year, but there are no guarantees it will last long.

New play-by-player Wayne Randazzo will be on a short leash, while Ed Coleman has decided against retirement and will be back on pre-and-post games most days, The Post has learned.

WCBS and the Mets are giving Randazzo just a one-year contract, allowing owner Jeff Wilpon and Entercom VP Mark Chernoff to evaluate Randazzo as he moves from pre- and post-game to the booth. The lead voice of the Mets, Howie Rose, has agreed to a multi-year deal.
