The sports media giant announced Wednesday, Nov. 5, 2020, that it is cutting about 500 jobs from its global workforce and laying off approximately 300 employees. The company said the cuts are due in large part to the impact of the coronavirus pandemic on its business and the “tremendous disruption in how fans consume sports.” (AP Photo/Jenny Kane, FIle)

A-Rod needs a new partner.

After four seasons on ESPN’s Sunday Night Baseball, play-by-play man Matt Vasgersian is leaving, according to Andrew Marchand of the New York Post.

“Play-by-player Matt Vasgersian informed ESPN executives that he is leaving his position on “Sunday Night Baseball,” The Post has learned.

After four years teamed with Alex Rodriguez, Vasgersian wants to focus on new, pending deals with MLB Network, and potentially expand his work on Angels’ regional telecasts.”

As far as who will replace Vasgersian, the potential replacements for Vasgersian include Boog Sciambi, Karl Ravech, Jason Benetti, Michael Kay, Ryan Ruocco and Dave Flemming.
