The biggest news from Major League Baseball on Monday is a media story as MLB Network has parted ways with longtime reporter Ken Rosenthal. The New York Post’s Andrew Marchand reports that Rosenthal’s ouster is due to his criticisms of commissioner Rob Manfred in 2020 for his handling of the COVID-19 situation. Rosenthal confirmed the split via his Twitter account Monday evening saying that the network made the decision to not bring him back.
Can confirm MLB Network has decided not to bring me back. I’m grateful for the more than 12 years I spent there, and my enduring friendships with on-air personalities, producers and staff.
