The Miami Marlins parted ways with radio announcer Glenn Geffner on Wednesday.
The MLB organization decided not to renew the veteran broadcaster’s contract for the 2023 season, ending his 15-year run with the franchise.
According to reports from the Miami Herald, the Marlins want a more conversational approach to their radio broadcasts. Geffner is a stats-driven radio voice.
“I was informed today the Marlins will not be renewing my contract for the 2023 season. Through a lot of ups and downs, it has been an honor and a privilege to call games for my hometown team over the last 15 seasons,” Geffner announced on Twitter.
“Devoted to my team and the craft, I gave everything I had every single night I went on the air, and I hope that was apparent to our devoted listeners,” he added.
Geffner is the third Marlins broadcaster to part ways with the team in a little over a year. His longtime partner, Dave Van Horne, retired from radio after the 2022 season. TV analyst Todd Hollandsworth was dropped after the 2021 season.
“I’ll have a lot more to say about some things when the time is right,” Geffner concluded. “But, for now, I wanted to share this news and to say thank you to all who shared this journey with me over the last 15 years.”
