Report: Pete Rose out at FOX Sports after statutory rape allegations

Pete Rose, the Cincinnati Reds Hall of Famer and baseball's reigning hit king, will reportedly not be returning to his role as an analyst with FOX Sports, sources told Lesley Goldberg and Marisa Guthrie of The Hollywood Reporter.

His reported removal from the network comes exactly one month after court documents - including a sworn statement from one woman identified only as "Jane Doe" - surfaced alleging that the former Reds player and manager acknowledged he had a sexual relationship in the 1970s with the woman in question before she had turned 16. According to her statement, the pair's relationship spanned multiple states and lasted several years, though Rose says the relationship stayed within the state of Ohio.

FOX Sports declined to comment, according to Goldberg and Guthrie.

Rose first joined FOX Sports as an on-air presence in April 2015. In March of this year, the network announced that Rose would return for the 2017 season to resume his role as a studio analyst alongside Frank Thomas.

Earlier this month, the Philadelphia Phillies announced that Rose would no longer participate in the Phillies Alumni Weekend celebrations to be held at Citizens Bank Park from Aug. 10-13 after the allegations that had recently surfaced. Rose was scheduled to be inducted into the team's Wall of Fame, though both parties mutually agreed he would no longer participate in the festivities.

The 76-year-old Rose played 24 seasons in Major League Baseball between 1963 and 1986, playing 19 of them with the Reds, five with the Phillies, and one lone campaign with the Montreal Expos. Though his career 4,256 hits have remained the most in the game's history by a single player, he has been ruled ineligible for the sport's Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, N.Y. due to betting on games during his career as both a player and manager.
