Dave Raymond and C.J. Nitkowski were added to prominent roles for 2017 Texas Rangers broadcasts, the club announced Friday morning, and Tom Grieve and Emily Jones will return to the TV team.
Raymond replaces Steve Busby as the primary play-by-play man after serving as a fill-in on TV and radio in 2016. He will work along side Nitkowski, the former major-league pitcher, and Grieve, who will be entering his 23rd season as a Rangers analyst.
Nitkowski will work 100 regular-season games, and Grieve will work as analyst alongside Raymond and Nitkowski on days that Raymond is off.
