The Yankees have landed their man to replace the legendary John Sterling.

Mariners TV announcer Dave Sims was named WFAN’s new play-by-play broadcaster for Yankees games, the network announced Thursday, confirming an earlier report from The Post that a deal was close.

“The Yankees’ radio voice is a storied position in baseball history,” Chris Oliviero, Audacy’s New York Market President, said in a statement. “From Allen and Barber to Rizzuto and Sterling, the names are synonymous with the pinstripes. Dave Sims is a worthy successor to that line. We are honored to have Dave join the incomparable Suzyn Waldman in the Bronx booth.”

Sources told The Post that the Yankees approve of WFAN’s choice to succeed Sterling.

It’s a full-circle moment for the 71-year-old Sims, who co-hosted afternoon sports talk on WFAN with Ed Coleman from 1989 to 1993.

“It’s great to be home,” Sims said in a statement via WFAN. “What an honor to be part of the iconic Yankees franchise. New York is where it all started for me, and I can’t wait for Opening Day and to work with my good friend Suzyn!”

The Post previously reported that Sims and Rickie Ricardo were the two finalists.

The 86-year-old Sterling retired last season in April after 35 years, but returned to call the shots for the Yankees’ postseason run that lasted until the World Series.
