Via NY Post:
All offseason, ESPN has contemplated how it should construct its Sunday night booth with one consistent thought — it will be orbited around Alex Rodriguez.
They have discussed different combinations and there is still a possibility they could just stick with A-Rod, Mendoza and play-by-player Matt Vasgersian for this season.
But, The Post has learned, an intriguing option has emerged — YES Network’s David Cone. ESPN and Cone have been in discussions about potential roles, including SNB, sources said.
ESPN executives and A-Rod liked how Rodriguez worked with Cone and Michael Kay during a five-inning stint on YES last year.
There is also a feeling that the booth would be better served if it had a former pitcher and a hitter in it. Mendoza was an Olympic gold medalist outfielder in softball.
Finally! Although if you’re getting rid of Mendoza, you need to get rid of A-Rod too. He’s just as bad as she is.
