The Los Angeles Dodgers announced the addition of Tim Neverett to their broadcast team on Monday. Neverett will call a select number of Dodger games on both television and radio, handling play-by-play duties on SportsNet LA during Joe Davis's national assignments and on AM 570 in place of Charley Steiner, who requested to cut back on his broadcast schedule. 
"We're excited to welcome Tim to our broadcast team, and know Dodger fans will appreciate his knowledge, passion and insight on the air," said Lon Rosen, Dodger Executive Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer. "The Dodgers are also thrilled that Charley will continue to be part of the team's broadcasts for years to come. We think the addition of Tim along with Charley, Joe and our talented group of analysts and reporters will continue to treat Dodger fans to one of the best broadcasts in baseball."
The 52-year-old Neverett served as the radio play-by-play voice of the Boston Red Sox for the past three seasons following a seven-year stint as the radio and television play-by-play announcer for the Pittsburgh Pirates. Before joining the Pirates, Neverett spent four years working for FSN Rocky Mountain, including as a studio host for Colorado Rockies games during the 2008 season. He also served the network as a play-by-play announcer for Rockies games, college football, basketball, hockey, lacrosse, arena football, and track and field. In addition, Neverett hosted talk shows for both the nationally syndicated Sporting News Radio Network and ESPN 560 in Denver, Colorado, where he was named the 2005 Best Radio Sports-Talk Host by Westword magazine. Prior to his time in Denver, Neverett lived in Las Vegas, calling games on radio and TV for the Padres' and Dodgers' Triple-A teams as well as Las Vegas' International Hockey League team and the UNLV baseball and football teams. Neverett, who began his broadcasting career in 1985 with Pittsburgh's Double-A affiliate Nashua, also called baseball, softball, basketball, and soccer as well as hockey and skiing during four Olympic Games from 2002-2008. 
"I am honored and humbled to have the opportunity to join such an established and talented group of radio and television broadcasters, as well as the gifted production personnel with the Dodgers," said Neverett. "My family and I are thrilled to be able to be part of the Dodger family and be back in the National League. I am very much looking forward to getting started, renewing old acquaintances and making new ones."
The Dodgers also agreed to a contract extension through the 2021 season with Steiner, who is entering his 15th season as the club's play-by-play announcer. 
"I am thankful to Mark, Stan, Tucker and Lon for their understanding of my desire to cut back on my schedule and extending my contract to allow me to continue doing what I love," said Steiner. "Father Time, Mother Nature, and the road have never lost a battle. I'm just trying to keep pace with those three, and hopefully getting to call the final out of the Dodgers' next championship. Tim will be a great addition to the Dodger broadcast, and I am so thrilled to have him join the Dodger family."
