The Yankees are close to finding a replacement for legendary radio play-by-play announcer John Sterling.
Mariners broadcaster Dave Sims is a finalist for the WFAN job, sources told The Post.
Another source added that he is “heavily involved in the matter.”
The deal won't be finalized until after the 2024 season concludes, as the Yankees head toward the playoffs.
Other candidates include Ricky Ricardo, who is part of the group that replaced Sterling this season, and Marlins television broadcaster Paul Severino, a source said.
The chosen person will work alongside Suzyn Waldman, who has been calling games in the Yankees radio booth since 2005.
The Seattle Times previously reported Sims interviewed for the job.
Sterling retired earlier this season after a legendary career, but he will return for the Yankees' postseason run.
“I miss getting together with all the other hosts and writers and people behind the scenes,” Sterling told WFAN of his decision to return. “I kind of miss that. And I’ll tell you what I really miss is broadcasting with Suzyn, who is a fabulous partner and we were together for so long. This will give me a chance to make one last push and work with Suzyn again.”
Sims, 71, was a host on the Yankees' flagship station, WFAN, early in his career.
