On this day 39 years ago, the New York Mets signed Keith Hernandez to a five-year contract. Now, Mets fans patiently await a new contract for Hernandez. This time, as a broadcaster.
Hernandez has been calling games for the Mets on SNY for 17 seasons since 2006. He is not under contract with the network for 2023. As recently as a week ago, buzz shared by Mike Puma of the New York Post indicated that SNY and Hernandez still had a “gap” on a contract. Yesterday though, a report from Puma made known that there has been some progress made.
