Steve Phillips is out at ESPN.
The married baseball analyst was booted from his high-profile TV post after being caught in a sordid love tryst with a production assistant.
The sports network stopped short of publicly saying Phillips, 46, was fired.
“Steve Phillips is no longer working for ESPN. His ability to be an effective representative for ESPN has been significantly and irreparably damaged, and it became evident it was time to part ways,” said ESPN spokesman Josh Krulewitz in a statement.
But one well-placed source confirmed he had been canned.
The firing came as a representative announced Phillips was entering a treatment facility “to address his personal issues.”
The stunning developments came less than a week after The Post broke details of Phillips’ seamy affair with 22-year-old ESPN co-worker Brooke Hundley, who turned on the randy former Met general manager when he dumped her.
The spurned Hundley allegedly harassed Phillips’ wife, Marni, and son in a “Fatal Attraction”-style campaign.

Hundley taunted Marni in a barrage of phone calls, once leaving “a detailed and very disturbing message on my cellphone and a [text] message late that night,” the wife told cops in Wilton, Conn., where the couple lives.
“The tone of the text message was, ‘I care about Steve, I make him happy, and we both can’t have him,’ ” Marni said.
Hundley also wrote the wife a letter that flaunted the pair’s illicit lovemaking, with the production assistant describing Steve Phillips’ “big birthmark on his crotch . . . and one on his left inner thigh, so you know I’m not being fake.”
Not satisfied with toying with just the wife, Hundley also went after one of the couple’s four teenage sons, pretending to be an old school pal to gain personal information on the family, according to police records.
STATEMENT FROM THEIR TEENAGE SON
The scandal prompted Phillips to take “an extended leave of absence” from ESPN on Wednesday after he admitted to having a three-day stand with Hundley.
His wife filed for divorce last month after learning he had strayed yet again.
As the Met GM in 1998, Phillips admitted having sex with an employee who wound up suing for sexual harassment. That case was settled out of court, and he got to keep his job after spending a short time in treatment.
Phillips also admitted to having multiple other affairs while with the team.
But his current employer was having none of the sexual shenanigans this time around.

That may not bode well for other ESPN employees, either.
Marketing Vice President Katie Lacey and Chief of Programming David Berson — who was married at the time but has since divorced — have been featured in recent media reports for their escapades together.
New details of the couple’s affair include Lacey making a move on Berson just over a month after joining the company in December 2005 — and heating up their torrid relationship online, her ex-assistant Nicole Thompson told The Post.
“They said anything and everything in the e-mails — heated and sexual e-mails,” Thompson said. “This exchange of e-mails started at home at 4 or 5 in the morning and [went to] 11 [p.m.].”
The network faced yet another public-relations faux pas over the weekend, when college-football analyst Bob Griese said Colombian NASCAR driver Juan Pablo Montoya wasn’t in the top five slots because he was “out having a taco.”
