The Mets have had a transformative offseason that’s led to more than $500 million invested in the MLB roster. That doesn’t include the huge new scoreboard and other improvements around Citi Field coming for 2023. Mets fans think owner Steve Cohen can do just about anything. The one thing he can’t do, though? Get broadcaster Keith Hernandez a new SNY contract.
The former first baseman’s deal to broadcast Mets games with Gary Cohen and Ron Darling expired at the end of the 2022 regular season. He’s been on the open market as a free agent ever since. In typical Wilpon fashion (they still own SNY, in case you forgot), contract negotiations have dragged on much longer than necessary.
Seeing Hernandez still unsigned with the calendar flipping from 2022 to 2023 has been annoying, but it doesn’t come without precedent. His last two multi-year deals were finalized in the middle of January. But, of course, we’re nearing the middle of February and he still doesn’t have a new contract. keith hernandez shirt
