Stairs Climbing at NESN


Coming off the heels of news that the New England Sports Network had hired former ESPN reporter Jenny Dell to replace Heidi Watney, news has surfaced that another addition to the NESN staff has been made.

Matt Stairs, the now retired pinch hitter most recently with the Washington Nationals, has joined NESN as an in-studio analyst for Red Sox coverage.  He joins Tom Caron, Peter Gammons, Dennis Eckersley, and Jim Rice.

Sean McGrail, president of the regional sports net, remarked on the addition of Stairs, saying, “Matt brings incredible passion for the game of baseball and a great sense of humor.” In addition, he also remarked, “He adds a unique perspective since he has played with or against most of the current major league players, including one year with Adrian Gonzalez in San Diego.”
