Washington Nationals broadcast analyst F.P. Santangelo announced he’s returning to their TV network MASN for the 2020 season. It marks 10 straight years Santangelo will work as part of the Nationals broadcast team, which comes after a seven-year MLB career as a player.
Santangelo was drafted by the Montreal Expos in 1989, advancing to the majors in 1995 and remaining with the franchise until 1998. Between playing and broadcasting, Santangelo has been part of the Expos/Nationals franchise for 20 years.
Prior to joining the Nats broadcast team as an analyst for their Mid-Atlantic Sports Network, Santangelo had stints as a radio host in Sacramento and San Francisco. For two years Santangelo co-hosted The Rise Guys on KHTK, later becoming an evening host on KNBR in the Bay Area.
Joining Santangelo on the Nationals MASN broadcast is longtime play-by-play announcer Bob Carpenter. Carpenter has been with the Nats since 2006 following tenures calling games for ESPN, the Cardinals, Mets, Twins and Rangers.
