A key player in the Yankees’ mid-90s championship dynasty is in talks to join the team’s TV broadcast crew.
Bernie Williams, who played 16 seasons for the Yankees from 1991 to 2006, is in discussions with YES Network about becoming one of the team’s broadcast analysts, according to the New York Post’s Andrew Marchand.
Williams, 55, has little broadcasting experience and would likely begin as a studio analyst for the YES pre- and postgame coverage. If he’s comfortable in the role, Williams might expand his work into game analysis as the season progresses. He would join a rotating cast of color commentators that includes former Yankees David Cone, Paul O’Neill, John Flaherty, Jeff Nelson and Todd Frazier.

During his 16 seasons in New York, Williams compiled a .297 career batting average with a .858 OPS, 287 home runs, and 1,257 RBI. He played on four World Series championship teams with the Yankees and was a five-time All-Star.
