Arbitration Eligible
Board and fan favorite Kelsey Wingert’s contract was not renewed per The Athletic, so sadly she will no longer be covering the team. Oof

I really liked the guy she replaced, and was really just getting used to her. Dunno why they can't decide on someone for that job.

Don't think it pays well tbh, and many have used it as a stepping stone.

Tom Hart took a promotion to call college basketball and football games at ESPN.
Liz Harlan took a promotion somewhere else.
Fox maybe wants someone younger and hotter to replace her.

Or maybe they see how much the players flirt with her int he dugout and want to avoid a possible sexual harassment lawsuit lol.
 
Hart us the name I was blanking on. According to the reports, though, the Braves (not Fox) made this decision in December and are just now telling her, so it wasn't her choice.
 
Not only did the fans love her, but the players genuinely loved her as well. I think having a close, admirable, and respectful relationship with the players helps with a reporter's job. She was likely to knock down some barriers that players tend to have with the media and provide some honest candor that helped open a window into the player's perspective and life a bit more than some random reporter who's just reading off a script.
 
It really does seem odd. They apparently made the decision in December, then gave an interview in January saying that they were happy with the broadcast team and no changes would be made, and then finally told her she was out in February. If there isn't more to that story, it seems a bit unprofessional.
