Jayson Stark, Trent Dilfer out at ESPN as part of extensive layoffs

Wednesday was an absolute blood bath at ESPN headquarters, as dozens of well-known and lesser-known employees lost their jobs. Among those to receive a pink slip were popular reporters like Ed Werder, writers like Jayson Stark and analysts like Trent Dilfer.

Stark, one of the most accomplished baseball writers in the sports media industry, worked at ESPN for 17 years.

Not long after Stark was informed he was being let go, Dilfer also shared some bad news.

The list continues to grow by the minute, with ESPN cutting millions of dollars in salary. Other writers and reporters who aren’t quite as well-known but many of whom are equally accomplished are also moving on to the next stage in their careers.

The list goes on and on and on. The layoffs are so expansive that #ESPNLayoffs was trending on Twitter as of Wednesday afternoon. The World Wide Leader clearly has a new business model.
