The Yankees are closing in on their man to replace the legendary John Sterling. Mariners TV announcer Dave Sims is nearing a deal to become WFAN’s new play-by-play broadcaster on Yankees games, sources told The Post.

The New York Post was the first to report the play-by-play news. The report prefaced that nothing is finalized yet, but that the Yankees would approve of WFAN’s choice for him to succeed Sterling. According to The Athletic, the deal will be for two years.
