1. It was announced Tuesday that the Mets have hired ESPN's Jessica Mendoza in a player-evaluation role. It was also announced that Mendoza will conitinue in her role as an analyst on Sunday Night Baseball. Many people are up in arms over this because of the conflict of interest.
Personally, I'm fine with a conflict of interest as long as viewers know about the conflict of interest, which is the case here. Anytime I'm going to watch a Mets game that Mendoza is calling, I'm going to know she's not objective and that's fine.
