In a story that isn’t very surprising, Jenny Dell’s tenure at NESN sounds like it’s coming to an end very soon. The former Red Sox sideline reporter was reassigned to a less prominent anchor/reporter role at the network this offseason after she and Red Sox third baseman Will Middlebrooks went public with their relationship.
After spending the last few months in that reduced role, Dell is now reportedly ready to move on:
Word is Jenny Dell is done at NESN. We’re told the former sideline reporter at Red Sox games is leaving the network this week. It’s unclear if Dell, who is dating oft-injured Sox third baseman Will Middlebrooks, has another job lined up. (via)
Since her demotion, Dell has reportedly received interest from bigger networks – including Fox Sports 1. It’s not clear whether or not she has another job lined up yet, but she has become very popular in Boston during her time there…and it’s not hard to see why. I’m sure she won’t be unemployed for very long.
Update: Dell has confirmed her departure via Twitter:
After an incredible 2 years at @NESN, it's time to say goodbye. Many thanks to the whole #NESN cast & crew. Appreciate the love & support!
