Joe Castiglione Says He Is Cancer-Free and Plans Limited Return to Red Sox Radio

He discloses previously private treatment for a leg sarcoma, with recent scans showing no cancer.

Overview

  • Castiglione told the Boston Globe on Monday that his latest scans are clean and that he is cancer-free.
  • He said he had surgery on October 1 for a sarcoma in his right leg followed by radiation, a diagnosis he had not shared publicly until now.
  • He plans to call about 10 Red Sox games on WEEI this season, likely Sunday home dates, with specifics still being finalized.
  • He retired after the 2024 season following 42 years and more than 6,500 games as the team’s lead radio voice, and he received the Ford C. Frick Award that year.
  • After serving as a Red Sox ambassador in 2025, he called about 10 spring-training games this year in Fort Myers, which set up this limited regular-season return.
