Jenny Cavnar has joined the Oakland Athletics’ broadcasting team as their new lead announcer for the upcoming 2024 MLB season. This historic move makes her the first woman to hold this position in the league. Cavnar, who previously worked for the Colorado Rockies for 12 seasons, brings a wealth of experience as a backup announcer and regional TV reporter. She also made history in 2018 as the first female play-by-play announcer for a MLB game between the Rockies and the Padres. Cavnar will take over from the previous announcer, Kuiper, who served the A’s for 17 seasons. Despite the recent drama surrounding the team’s relocation to Las Vegas, the Athletics expressed their excitement in welcoming Cavnar to their broadcasting team. This news comes on the heels of another woman, umpire Pawol, being selected for the upcoming MLB Spring training games, potentially becoming the first female umpire at the major league level.
