SYRACUSE, N.Y. — Syracuse Mets baseball games will remain on Cumulus Media’s The Score 1260 for the next three years.
The minor-league baseball club announced the extension of the broadcast contract on Thursday.
Radio and internet listeners will again hear the voices of Michael Tricarico and Evan Stockton, who will team up for the third straight season as the Syracuse Mets play-by-play announcers in 2024.
Fans will hear the duo on The Score 1260 (WSKO 1260 AM), TheScore1260.com, and on the TuneIn app for all 150 Syracuse Mets games, including 75 home games that will also be broadcast on MiLB.tv, the team said.
“Cumulus has been a great partner for us since we got back on the radio for the 2014 season,” Jason Smorol, general manager of the Syracuse Mets, said in the team’s news release. “Our fans want us on the radio, and working with Cumulus here locally has been a great benefit for our team. In addition to having our games broadcast, our partnership extends to marketing and events that also help our club through the great value we get from Cumulus.”
The Syracuse Mets open the 2024 baseball season on March 29 at NBT Bank Stadium against the Rochester Red Wings. First pitch is at 2:05 p.m., and radio coverage begins with the Syracuse Mets pregame show at 1:50 p.m., the team said.
About Tricarico
Tricarico returns for his sixth full season in the Syracuse broadcast booth and his fifth season as the lead play-by-play voice of the Syracuse Mets, not including the 2020 minor-league season that was cancelled because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
He is a North Syracuse native who graduated from Cicero-North Syracuse High School in 2013 and from Syracuse University (SU) in 2017. As an SU student, he called Orange sporting events for WAER 88.3 FM and WJPZ 89.1 FM.
About Stockton
Stockton enters his third season in the Syracuse Mets broadcast booth. The 28-year-old is also quite familiar with Central New York, having graduated from SU in the spring of 2018.
Stockton has broadcast nearly every level of baseball, starting his professional broadcasting career when he was just a sophomore in college. He has now spent the past four seasons working at the Triple-A level, serving as the voice of the Memphis Redbirds (Triple-A affiliate of the St. Louis Cardinals) during the 2021 season.
