WEEI hires Tim Neverett for Red Sox play-by-play

It should be noted that the pay for the position typically is not commensurate with the stature of the job. When the Red Sox suggested to Orsillo during the fallout of the news that he’d be departing NESN that he might be able to move to the radio booth, the offer was for a fraction of his NESN salary — which was not steep by industry standards — and thus drew only cursory consideration despite Orsillo’s preference to remain in New England.
