Insider Ken Rosenthal is out as part of the network's news-breaking team, a decision that reportedly comes as the result of Rosenthal writing critical pieces about MLB commissioner Rob Manfred during the summer of 2020.

The news was originally reported by Andrew Marchand of the New York Post, and later confirmed by Rosenthal in a statement released via Twitter.

looks like someone's about to go to work for a certain 4 letter network with MLB TV rights and a paywall portal for their website with articles exclusive to their site.
 
Publicly clowning on the boss is a very easy way to end up on the unemployment line. Fortunately for Rosenthal, he still works for Fox.

He was reporting the news. The network division is supposed to be separate from the baseball operations.

He may have been reporting the news, but IIRC the league-owned networks are under the direct control of their respective Commissioners' Offices. It's bad enough when a network that pays rights for games gets on the Commissioner's bad side (King Roger of the NFL is the worst), let alone a reporter for the league-owned network.

Then why have reporters on the payroll at all. If they can't report the news properly.
 
AROD is on both ESPN and Fox. Athletic is just a Website. Fox has less Insider Breaking News then ESPN/MLB Network and so on do.
 
A-Rod was doing play by play for Sunday Night baseball. Now he will be doing a Mannincast version for SNB.
