Fox is bringing the Yankees-Red Sox rivalry into the broadcast booth.
Saturday night’s game between the rivals from Yankee Stadium will be broadcast by Fox’s studio crew of Kevin Burkhardt, Derek Jeter, Alex Rodriguez and David Ortiz instead of the regular booth of Joe Davis and John Smoltz.
Rodriguez, who recently won a Sports Emmy for “Outstanding Sports Personality: Studio Analyst,” has game experience as an announcer as part of ESPN’s “Sunday Night Baseball” booth from 2018 to 2021.
Jeter and Ortiz have never called a game from the booth.
