Don Orsillo may broadcast another game at Fenway Park in the future, but it’s unlikely to be as the Red Sox’ television play-by-play announcer.

Orsillo won’t return to Red Sox broadcasts next season, with NESN choosing to go in another direction with Dave O’Brien. The San Diego Padres are “aggressively pursuing Orsillo for a significant role with their television broadcast team on Fox Sports San Diego,’’ according to the Boston Globe’s Chad Finn.

Orsillo said goodbye, and thank you, to fans at Fenway Park before his final broadcast there Sunday.

Orsillo will close out the Red Sox season with the team, broadcasting Boston’s final road games.
