It’s Official: David Cone Is Out at YES

Like we said the other day, this is really too bad. Cone, though, said that he’s leaving to spend more time with his family and is on good terms with everyone at the network — contrary to earlier reports of a fight with network brass. (He says if he were to come back, YES would be his first choice.) Neil Best suggests an expanded role for Paul O’Neill, but we’re guessing it’ll mean more opportunities for John Flaherty to make fun of Michael Kay for going to Fordham, while we bang our head against a wall.
