While the Mets continue pursuing offseason acquisitions, their TV network is trying to sign a former elite first baseman and current marquee voice.
SportsNet New York brass is in contract negotiations with Keith Hernandez, looking to bring him back for the 2016 season and beyond, according to an MLB TV source. Hernandez’s current contract expires in January.
Hernandez has teamed with Gary Cohen and Ron Darling since SNY began airing Mets baseball in 2006. The trio has often been praised for its chemistry. There is no doubt eliminating one of the voices from the mix would radically change the chemical balance of the booth.
