Dave O’Brien signs two-year extension with Red Sox through 2028

Summary

Dave O’Brien has signed a two-year extension to continue as the TV voice of the Red Sox, valid through at least 2028. Negotiations were smooth aside from a minor issue regarding potential game losses due to a spring lockout. The extension reflects O’Brien's desire for a shorter commitment at age 63, prioritizing family time after personal challenges. This season, O’Brien has enjoyed calling games during a turnaround for the team, and NESN's new 'Booth Cam' feature aims to enhance viewer connection. The extension comes amid discussions around broader changes in MLB's national TV expected by 2028.
