WFAN hires Josh Lewin to replace Wayne Hagin

WFAN and the Mets have confirmed that Josh Lewin will join Howie Rose in the radio-broadcast booth, replacing Wayne Hagin.

ESPN's Adam Rubin tweeted before that the Mets confirmed the hire, which confused me. I figured it would be WFAN's call, through-and-through. After a few tweets about it, the Immortal Chris Majkowski, chimed in from the Mets WFAN Twitter account.

@TheRopolitans @Fletch788 The radio station hires the announcers, the Mets have right of approval.
