Jessica Mendoza has a new role — and no more potential conflicts of interest — at ESPN.
Mendoza will no longer be an analyst on ESPN’s “Sunday Night Baseball,’’ a role she has held since 2015. She also resigned her position as an adviser to the New York Mets Thursday.
Her new role at ESPN, which comes with a multiyear contract extension, will include serving as an analyst on assorted baseball broadcasts, including Opening Day coverage, weeknight games, and holiday baseball.
She also will be part of ESPN Radio’s playoff and World Series broadcasts while expanding her presence on ESPN’s studio programming.
