MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred ‘Not Comfortable’ With Dual Roles Held By Broadcasters

Over the course of the 2019 MLB season, multiple teams expressed a level of concern with certain media members holding an official position with other organizations.

To avoid a potential conflict of interest, the Los Angeles Dodgers implemented a new team policy that limited clubhouse access to advisors from other MLB organizations.

Most affected were ESPN Sunday Night Baseball broadcasters Jessica Mendoza and David Ross, who respectively held roles with the New York Mets and Chicago Cubs front office.

Mendoza, in particular, was not pleased with the rule and spoke out on how the Dodgers denied her clubhouse access prior to Game 3 of the National League Division Series at Nationals Park.
