NESN Hires Alanna Rizzo For Red Sox Coverage

MLB personality Alanna Rizzo has been busy since the cancellation of MLB Network’s High Heat, which put her out of a role at the Network. She’s since joined the Foul Territory podcast, but will also take on an additional role with NESN for the 2025 Season.

NESN announced that Rizzo will be joining the network in a multitude of roles, which include alternate broadcasts, hosting, and reporting for Boston Red Sox games.

“NESN, New England’s premier sports network, announced Wednesday that Alanna Rizzo, a seven-time Emmy Award-winning sports journalist, has joined NESN as a general sports reporter and analyst. Her duties 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,” the announcement said.

“Rizzo, who will make her NESN debut in May, has more than 20 years of experience as a baseball journalist. Currently a contributor to ‘Foul Territory,’ Rizzo has also provided national baseball commentary for ‘Blue Jays Central’ on SportsNet and served as host for TBS alternative baseball programming in 2023 and 2024. From 2021 through 2024, she was a regular contributor alongside Christopher Russo on MLB Network’s ‘High Heat,’ where she interviewed players, coaches and industry insiders while breaking down league-wide storylines,” NESN added.

Rizzo’s tenure with NESN begins in May, and her appearances on the alternate broadcast seem to be going pretty well. Honestly, this alternate broadcast is a great additional angle for fans who get bored by normal regular season baseball, so this addition was probably a smart one by NESN.
