MLB reporter Jon Heyman gets heated with WFAN host during radio appearance
Sparks flew during Jon Heymans Friday night appearance on WFAN.
The MLB reporter Heyman of the New York Post gave an on-air interview to WFANs Keith McPherson and quickly got annoyed by McPhersons antics.
McPherson dropped multiple humorous references to Heymans infamous Arson Judge mistake in 2022 (a typo that Heyman made in a social media post upon breaking the news that New York Yankees slugger Aaron Judge appeared to be headed to the San Francisco Giants as a free agent).
Things really went south though when McPherson asked Heyman, What percentage of Juan Sotos contract are you going to get when you break the news of where he signs? Heyman then got heated with McPherson and angrily called him out for questioning my integrity and implying that Im getting a cut because I have a relationship with an agent.
Heyman also called McPhersons comment outrageous and said that he was done with WFAN.
Here is the audio clip.

For those who didn't hear the entire interview, this seemed to be the part that irritated Heyman.

As such, you cant really blame Heyman for having that kind of reaction.
The Arson Judge barbs were probably particularly irritating to Heyman too, especially since fans continue to clown him over that mistake ( even as recently as this year ).
