Aronson has broadcast 1,987 Saints games, the longest tenured broadcaster in franchise history. Entering his 19th season with the Saints makes him the second longest active English-speaking lead broadcaster for any Minnesota sports franchise, trailing only Paul Allen with the Vikings, who began in 2002. Alan Horton of the Minnesota Timberwolves also began in 2007.
In 2016. Aronson was awarded the Ballpark Digest Broadcaster of the Year Award for all of minor league baseball and on the final day of that regular season he became the first broadcaster in Saints history to call 1,000 games.

Joining Aronson this season are Matt Dean, who returns for his second full season with the Saints after spending 2015 with the team, and Steve Linzmeier, his fourth season.
After filling in as a play-by-play announcer and color analyst on select Saints radio broadcasts the past two seasons, Dean returns as a regular member of the Saints broadcast team in 2025. Outside of his work with the Saints, the Milwaukee, Wisconsin native is also the radio broadcaster for Minnesota State Men's Hockey, calling all home and road games for the Mavericks on KTOE in Mankato, a role he stepped into for the first time this past season. He also covers high school sports as a television play-by-play announcer and studio host for North Metro TV in Blaine.
Dean got his start in baseball as the broadcasting and media relations intern for Aronson during the first season at CHS Field in 2015. He then rolled that into a full-time position as the Director of Broadcasting and Media Relations for the Charleston RiverDogs, then the Single-A affiliate of the New York Yankees, for four years before returning to his Midwestern roots. He is a 2015 graduate of the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
Linzmeier spent 2022 as the Saints pre- and post-game host. Along with those duties in 2025, Linzmeier can be heard on home radio and TV broadcasts. He took over at St. Cloud State, as the voice of the Men’s and Women’s basketball team, for the 2022-23 season, for the departed J.W. Cox, a former Saints broadcaster. Prior to his time with the Saints, Linzmeier spent nine years as the Sports Director at KQDJ in Jamestown, ND. He was the lead play-by-play voice for the University of Jamestown and Jamestown High School. Linzmeier was honored by his peers as the 2016 North Dakota Sportscaster of the Year. He has broadcast over 1,500 games including some locally for PrepSpotlight and St. Catherine University. He is a 2010 graduate of the University of Wisconsin-River Falls with a Bachelor’s Degree in Journalism in 2010 and went on to get his Master’s in Sports Administration at Southeastern Oklahoma State University in 2021.
