data-mm-id=”_79eq8msz9″>ESPN has opted not to fill Jessica Mendoza's analyst chair in the Sunday Night Baseball booth, The New York Post's Andrew Marchand reports. The network had little choice but to shuffle things up after she brought her message of no-snitching to a car wash and failed to clean up the conflict of interest on the undercoating.
