ESPN baseball analyst Steve Phillips played “Let’s Make a Deal” with his young mistress and alleged stalker — convincing her to drop a restraining order against him that wildly claimed he pressured her into sex, records show.
Lawyers for Phillips and ex-lover Brooke Hundley requested that hearings on the order be put off several times because they were working on an out-of-court settlement, records reveal.
Hundley withdrew her case on Sept. 15 because the issue was resolved by “discussion of parties,” according to documents filed in New Britain, Conn., Superior Court.

It’s unclear what kind of deal the 22-year-old woman cut with ex-Mets GM Phillips, 46. But Phillips never pressed criminal charges against her for allegedly obsessively stalking his wife and teenage son when he ended their brief affair last summer.
The schlubby seductress refused to comment yesterday when she arrived at her Bristol, Conn., home to pick up clothes. She flipped off reporters and sped from her building.
A lawyer for Phillips also declined comment.
The private resolution short-circuited what would have been a public airing of their allegations against each other.
Hundley likely would have been asked why she applied for an order of protection on Aug. 20 — less than 24 hours after she gave Phillips’ wife a taunting letter bragging of an affair with her husband.
In her restraining-order request the next day, Hundley said, “I believe there is an immediate and present physical danger to me.”
She wrote: “While at work in mid-July, after work, Steve bought me a strong drink and then cornered me . . . trying to persuade me to come into his hotel suite to spend the night.”
“I told my supervisor who told me to ‘get used to it.’ And to keep it to myself,” Hundley wrote. “He [Phillips] proceeded to call my hotel room until I finally went to see him.”
“He continued to text me . . . with inappropriate things. I tried to get him to stop and told others but he didn’t and I finally gave in,” she wrote.
“Someone at work found out and call[ed] his house. Then he began to spread word that I was just the office slut and ruining my reputation. He continued to text me, however, about getting together.”
Hundley wrote that Phillips “threatened me, stating that if I spoke a word of this to his wife that he would ruin more than just my reputation but could easily get me fired.”
