SNY and the former Mets first baseman have reached an agreement on a contract for the upcoming season, according to Newsday.
Hernandez’s contract with the network expired after the 2025 season, his 20th year calling games. Now, he will continue in his role alongside analyst Ron Darling and play-by-play announcer Gary Cohen.
Hernandez has served as a game analyst for SNY since 2006, and has won three Emmys over the last 20 years. He signed a three-year contract to stay with the network before the 2023 season.
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. His No. 17 is retired by the Mets.
