Marlins radio gig 'a dream come true' for Jack McMullen

[Kevin Barral]

Fish Unfiltered—Episode #69

As he prepares to pack up his life and drive down to South Florida, new Miami Marlins radio play-by-play announcer Jack McMullen sits down with Kevin Barral and Isaac Azout to discuss his new position and all of the experiences that led up to it.

"Lot of people say, 'a dream come true' about things that they really wanted, but may not have been an actual dream," McMullen says. "For this dream opportunity to come true with the Miami Marlins at this stage is actually a dream come true, so I couldn't be more excited."

Find Fish Unfiltered on the Fish On First YouTube channel, our new-look Apple Podcasts channel and wherever else you get your pods. FOF's audio programming also includes The Offishial Show, Swimming Upstream, Big Fish Small Pod and more.

McMullen will have a wide variety of broadcast partners in 2025, including Rod Allen, Craig Minervini, Jeff Nelson, AJ Ramos, Kelly Saco and Gaby Sanchez.

As announced by the Marlins on Thursday, FOX Sports 940 AM Miami will broadcast audio from 15 of their 30 spring training games, while an additional 12 games, including Spring Breakout, can be found exclusively on the MLB app. McMullen tells Fish On First that he expects to arrive in Jupiter on Monday.

I guess someone had to be episode 69 ...

Seems like a clear voice with a practical plan. Hope he can arrange to have Aram (of Just Baseball) on the air with him from time to time.

I've always been amazed by the lack of minor league coverage on Marlins TV and radio. The games should be monitored frequently and consistently.

Aram is doing his annual deep dive on the farm system this weekend, so if nothing else, we'll get him as a guest on our platform before the season to discuss.

I agree. Some of us would love to see more coverage on the minor league teams. They only get talked about on TV or radio if a certain prospect is on the team's radar to get called up.
