Don Orsillo, who has provided play-by-play coverage of NESN’s Red Sox telecasts since 2001, will not return next season, The Boston Globe reported Tuesday.

He is expected to be replaced by Dave O’Brien, who is part of the Red Sox radio broadcast team on WEEI and also does play-by-play at ESPN, the newspaper reported, citing multiple sources.

Apparently, Orsillo was never a favorite of a NESN vice president who arrived on the scene in 2012.
