Harold Reynolds' tenure as ESPN's most prolific and arguably most recognizable baseball analyst has come to a sudden and shocking end, according to a report today from the AP.
ESPN offered no explanation as to the circumstances of HR's departure, except to confirm that Reynolds is no longer with the company as of today.
This announcement comes less than a month after baseball announced it's television plan for next year. A plan which cuts ESPN out of playoff coverage and gives TBS a greater stake in regular and post season action.
My totally unconfirmed and unsubstantiated hunch is that HR let ESPN brass know that he would be switching networks next year, and they decided to let him go right away.
Either that or Reynolds killed someone and we just haven't found out about it yet.
Regardless of the circumstances surrounding his departure it should be noted that Reynolds had been by far the second best studio analyst at ESPN over the last decade or so, and he was a close second to Hall of Famer Peter Gammons.
I'm not sure why he's gone, but he will be missed.

it's probably because he was black. espn is racist.
if joe morgan leaves, my hatred for espn will expand even more.
this makes me sad because fat john kruk will talk more. or jeff brantly. seriously, how many mullets can be in one room. maybe that's why hr was let go, because he doesn't have a mullet.
That sucks. Harold Reynolds was the coolest dude on ESPN. Peter Gammons is awesome and Ron Jaworski is a genius, but I want to hang out with Harold Reynolds.
I doubt he killed anyone, though. If he tried to stab you, he probably wouldn't even be strong enough to make the blade cut the skin.
