The former New York Mets first baseman’s SNY contract expired at the conclusion of this season. He has been in the booth calling Mets games for 17 years with Gary Cohen and Ron Darling.
The New York Post’s Mike Puma reported last week: There is still a gap between SNY and Keith Hernandez in contract talks. Hernandez was offered a new deal, rejected it, and counter-offered. SNY has not yet responded with another offer.
The color commentator took a fall in Midtown Manhattan in late September, causing him to miss the remainder of the Mets’ regular season. He required shoulder surgery.
Hernandez played seven seasons with the Mets and had his jersey retired in July in a ceremony at Citi Field.
Over 17 MLB seasons, Hernandez won 11 Gold Gloves and two Silver Slugger Awards. He was a five-time All-Star, two-time World Series champion and the 1979 National League MVP. He has served as a game analyst for SNY since 2006.
