NESN beefed up its talent roster for Red Sox coverage Wednesday by hiring someone who is very familiar to baseball fans nationwide.
The network has added former MLB Network contributor and Dodgers sideline reporter Alanna Rizzo as a “general sports reporter and analyst‚” according to a press release. Rizzo’s duties, which begin in May, will include “co-host of the network’s alternate broadcast, “Unobstructed Views presented by Blue Moon”, occasional host and sideline reporter for NESN’s Red Sox coverage, and other general reporting.
Studio host Tom Caron and sideline reporter Jahmai Webster will remain in the lead roles for those positions with Rizzo filling in on occasion.
