Longtime New York Mets color analyst Keith Hernandez has reportedly inked a deal with SNY to remain in the broadcast booth.
The extension will keep Hernandez partnered with Gary Cohen and Ron Darling for their 21st consecutive season together, according to a report from Newsday’s Anthony Rieber.
It is unknown how long the contract extension is. Previously, Hernandez shared that he’d be interested in broadcasting New York Mets games for another three seasons.
The last time Keith Hernandez and SNY went through contract negotiations, the two sides were at odds for lengthy periods of time before a deal was struck. However, it appears as if this round between the cable network and the 72-year-old analyst were much more fruitful much sooner than previous negotiations.
The contract extension for Keith Hernandez comes after the director for Mets broadcasts on SNY, John DeMarsico, departed the network after 17 seasons leading the broadcast.
