An already strange offseason gets a little more bizarre. On Tuesday, it was announced that former 14-time All-Star Alex Rodriguez would join ESPN, as part of its Sunday Night Baseball coverage, taking the seat vacated by now Yankees manager Aaron Boone.
Rodriguez, who has proven to be one of the brightest analysts on television, will do a Michael Strahan in 2018, pulling double duty, as he will also remain with Fox during the MLB Postseason.
The only remaining piece from the former ESPN Sunday Night crew is Jessica Mendoza, who will appear alongside Rodriguez and play-by-play man Matt Vasgersian, replacing Dan Shulman.
