"My hope is as this door closes another opens for you all. God bless!"

On Tuesday, The Athletic reported that Karl Ravech, who had been with the company since 1993, and NFL insider Tom Pelissero were being laid off.

Ravech had been ESPN’s lead play-by-play announcer for its baseball coverage, and called the Philadelphia Phillies-New York Mets game on Monday. ESPN purchased NFL Network in January, and just six months later, ESPN let go of Pelissero, who was a constant on NFL Network programming.
