Another season is incoming and some fan favorites and legends return to the broadcast booth for the Texas Rangers in 2025.

Despite the introduction of Rangers Sports Network, nothing major was changed on the television front in terms of commentators while the radio broadcasts remained untouched. Here's a list of those voices ready to return for another season of baseball in Texas.

Who are the Rangers TV broadcasters for the upcoming 2025 season?

While the Rangers Sports Network has their inaugural season in 2025, the broadcasters are seasoned veterans in the booth and with the team.

Making his return for the eighth straight season as the main play-by-play commentator is Dave Ryamond. Raymond joined the organization in 2016 and called 45 games that season, he was promoted to the main commentator the following year.

Raymond has been calling professional sporting games for 30 years on television and radio for the Houston Astros, San Francisco Giants, Baltimore Orioles, the minor leagues and various other sports.

For the second straight season, the team's radio broadcaster Jared Sandler will split his time between radio and television. Sandler will fill-in every so often in 2025 on the television side in both a color commentator and play-by-play role.

Joining is a plethora of voices that have been in the booth as analyst alongside Raymond with the Rangers over recent seasons: former baseball pitcher Mike Bacsik and former outfielder David Murphy. The new addition to the analyst booth, on an occasional basis, will be incoming Texas Rangers Hall of Fame infielder Elvis Andrus. The former shortstop will be a regular on the pre-and-post game shows but will also be in the booth for a select number of games.

The biggest change on the television side is new field reporter Laura Stickells, who will take over as the primary reporter for the network. Stickells is coming from NESN where she served as the field reporter the Boston Red Sox's Triple-A affiliate, Worcester Red Sox.

Over the last few years, long-time field reporter for the team Emily Jones has lightened her workload with the broadcast. She will still serve as a field reporter in 2025 but it will be in a smaller capacity.

Eric Nadel leads the way on the English Rangers' radio broadcast team

Entering his 31st year as the lead voice for Rangers baseball, Eric Nadel is back at it as the main play-by-play announcer for the team's radio broadcasts. The Rangers Baseball Hall of Famer has the 3rd longest Rangers tenure as a broadcaster (47 years) in the history of the franchise and third longest stint of any MLB broadcaster.

Nadel is an eight-time National Sportscasters and Sportswriters Association Texas Sportscaster of the Year Award as well as countless other awards and recognitions for his illustrious career in baseball broadcasting.

Joining Nadel in the radio booth is Matt Hicks and Sandler. Hicks has been with the Rangers for 13 years and before joining Texas he worked as the radio voice and Director of Broadcast and Media Relations for the Houston Astros minor league affiliate Corpus Christi Hooks.

Sandler is a 2011 gradaute of the University of Southern California where he led the student-run radio station and work with ESPN Radio in Los Angeles. A lifelong Texas Rangers fan, Sandler joined the organization in 2014, starting as a fill-in radio voice and now hosts the Rangers' pre-and-post game radio broadcasts and handles color commentary and play-by-play on both television and radio.

Wealth of experience ready for another Rangers' season on the Spanish radio broadcast

The Rangers also bring an experienced duo on the Spanish radio broadcasts in veteran voices Eleno Ornelas and Jose Guzman. Combined they have 41 years of experience with the organization as the play-by-play and color analyst for the Spanish broadcasts.

Ornelas has been in baseball for 46 years, only one year less than Nadel. Ever since Ornelas moved to Dallas he's also been the Spanish radio voice for Dallas Cowboys and Dallas Mavericks game. He also is currently serving as the main Spanish radio voice for the Oklahoma City Thunder.

Guzman is a former big league pitcher, compiling a 80-74 record with the Rangers and Cubs from 1985-93 and was Texas's pitcher and comeback player of the year in 1991. He's in his 16th year as the color analyst for the team and was inducted into the Latin American International Sports Hall of Fame in 2020.
