Todd Zeile is expected to replace Nelson Figueroa as SNY’s lead Mets studio analyst alongside host Gary Apple for next season, although the network’s precise plans have not been finalized.
Figueroa likely will stay with SNY in another capacity.
The New York Post first reported SNY’s studio plans.
Zeile played two seasons for the Mets, including their 2000 National League-pennant winning team. Figueroa, also a former Met, replaced Bob Ojeda in the studio in 2015.
Neil Best first worked at Newsday in 1982, returned in 1985 after a detour to Alaska and has been here since, specializing in high schools, college basketball, the NFL and most recently sports media and business.
