SYRACUSE, N.Y. — The Syracuse Mets are continuing their agreement with Syracuse radio station The Score 1260 for three more years.
The deal keeps 1260 AM, which is part of Cumulus Media, as the flagship radio station for all Syracuse Mets home and away games, the minor-league baseball team announced. It also includes coverage of the Triple-A All-Star Game and Triple-A national championship.
Michael Tricarico will return for his third full season in the Syracuse Mets broadcast booth and his second season as the lead play-by-play voice of the Syracuse Mets. Tricarico also called games for Syracuse on The Score 1260 AM during part of the 2014 season.

“We are so excited to be continuing this relationship with The Score 1260 and Cumulus,” Jason Smorol, general manager of the Syracuse Mets, said in a statement. “They have been a great local partner for us and a big part of our growth and success since 2014. Being on the radio was and is important to our fans, and Cumulus delivers for us.”

That season ended in a 1947 Governors’ Cup Championship, per a team news release. 1260 AM was also the home of Syracuse baseball in 1952-1953, 1989-1991, 2002-2003, 2006-2007, 2011-2012, and from 2014 to now.

Syracuse’s home opener is on Friday, April 17 at NBT Bank Stadium against the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders.
