Mets Radio Voice Howie Rose Cuts 2026 Schedule to 84 Games, Drops Regular-Season Travel

The 72-year-old moves to limit travel for health, prioritizing longevity.

Overview

  • He will call all 81 home games plus the three-game September Subway Series at Yankee Stadium.
  • He will skip all other regular-season road trips and plans to work every postseason game if the Mets advance.
  • Rose continues a fourth season paired with Keith Raad on WCBS-880, with Pat McCarthy filling in when Rose is off.
  • The scaled-back workload extends a reduction that began after his 2021 bladder cancer diagnosis and treatment.
  • Rose signed a one-year deal for 2026 and says he is taking his broadcasting future on a year-to-year basis.
