Say goodbye to Baltazar and hello to former New England Patriot Jermaine “Wiggy” Wiggins, who is replacing the longtime Boston radio morning man as co-­host of HOT 96.9’s GetUp Crew.

Wiggins will join Pebbles and her former JAM’N 94.5 cohort Melissa, who will move from the 96.9 midday show, beginning this morning.

Baltazar, whose last day was this past Wednesday, was sent packing after the station decided “to go in a different direction,” said spokesgal Heidi Raphael.

“We’re grateful for his contributions to the show,” she added.

Baltazar joined the station, reuniting with his former JAM’N co­-host Pebbles, just a year and a half ago. Wiggins, an East Boston native who won a Super Bowl with Tom Brady & Co. in 2001, has been doing radio and TV with appearances on ?98.5 The Sports Hub, Comcast SportsNet, “Patriots This Week” and Channels 4 and 7 since retiring from pro football.
