The Mannings, for example, only do 10 of the 17 weeks of \u201cMonday Night Football.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, YES\u2019 David Cone has once again emerged as a candidate for the lead SNB <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/game\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"7\" title=\"Game\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">game<\/a> crew, according to sources. There is the possibility of a booth that consists of Karl Ravech as the lead play-by-player with Cone joined by Eduardo Perez as the analysts.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>There has been a sense among some close to the situation that Rodriguez, if he were to remain in the booth, favored YES\u2019 Michael Kay as his play-by-player and was not as high on working with Ravech.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>ESPN\u2019s top radio play-by-player is Jon Sciambi, who is also the TV voice of the Cubs. ESPN appears likely to go with Ravech \u2013 its longtime studio host, who moved to play-by-play \u2013 over Sciambi.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Starting next year, ESPN will have significantly fewer weekday MLB games, making the SNB gig really the only full-time TV one on ESPN.<\/p>\n<p>As for Cone, A-Rod was the one who originally pushed to have him join ESPN in the first place. There were talks two years ago to team Cone with Rodriguez in a booth with play-by-player Matt Vasgersian.\u00a0<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/01\/alex-rodriguez.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1024\" alt=\"Alex Rodriguez with the Fox Sports pregame show\" class=\"wp-image-20724473\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/01\/alex-rodriguez.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1535 1536w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/01\/alex-rodriguez.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all 1024w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/01\/alex-rodriguez.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=512 512w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><figcaption>Alex Rodriguez with the Fox Sports pregame show<\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">Frank Micelotta\/Fox Sports\/Picturegroup\/Shutterstock<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>It ended up not happening. Following the conclusion of last season, Vasgersian decided to leave SNB after four years. There was a feeling that a move to Ravech on play-by-play might have already been in motion in Bristol, which likely played into Vasgersian\u2019s thinking.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"single__inline-module alignright\">\n    <\/aside>\n<p>The SNB booth will potentially become even more important next year, as ESPN could have the expanded opening round of the playoffs. This will be a negotiating issue between the owners and the players. The MLB owners are currently locking out the players.<\/p>\n<p>ESPN has had great success with Peyton and Eli Manning commenting on \u201cMonday Night Football.\u201d While the brothers have added more shine to the MNF <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/watch-movies-tv-seriess\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"8\" title=\"Watch Movies &amp; TV Series\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">series<\/a>, their broadcasts on ESPN2 are dwarfed by the main crew of Steve Levy, Louis Riddick and Brian Griese\u2019s audience on the main ESPN channel.<\/p>\n<p>A-Rod, 46, fashions himself as a sort of <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">media<\/a> personality\/entrepreneur with his co-ownership of the Minnesota Timberwolves, \u201cShark Tank\u201d appearances, Fox MLB studio analyst role and Barstool Sports podcast.<\/p>\n<p>He has been in the ESPN booth for four years, but has been better in Fox\u2019s MLB studio. This is partly why some ESPN executives think an \u201cA-Rodcast\u201d might work.<\/p>\n<p>The look and feel of a potential \u201cA-Rodcast\u201d may not exactly mirror what Peyton and Eli do. ESPN has been doing alternative broadcasts for many years, so A-Rod\u2019s shows could have their own wrinkles.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/01\/a-rod-2.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1024\" alt=\"Alex Rodriguez, Jessica Mendoza and Matt Vasgersian announce a game in 2018.\" class=\"wp-image-20724493\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/01\/a-rod-2.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=2048 2048w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/01\/a-rod-2.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1536 1536w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/01\/a-rod-2.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all 1024w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/01\/a-rod-2.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=512 512w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><figcaption>Alex Rodriguez, Jessica Mendoza and Matt Vasgersian announce a game in 2018.<\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">Icon Sportswire via Getty Images<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>As for Cone and YES, there is a strong desire for him to continue to do Yankee games, according to sources.
