ESPN has Adam Schefter on the NFL, Adrian Wojnarowski on the NBA and now it is hiring Yahoo’s Jeff Passan with the plan for him to be its top breaking-news insider on Major League Baseball, sources have told The Post.

The network has baseball information guys already in Buster Olney, Tim Kurkjian and Pedro Gomez. While the trio, especially Olney, do break some news, they haven’t gone tidbit-for-tidbit with the prolific trio of MLB Network insiders, Ken Rosenthal, Jon Heyman and The Post’s Joel Sherman, in a while.

Rosenthal also works for The Athletic and is Fox’s top insider/dugout TV reporter. Heyman writes for Fancred.

Last week, ESPN.com’s Jerry Crasnick announced he is leaving the site after 15 years. Crasnick, a do-everything guy, broke stories, wrote features and did some TV and radio. His responsibilities increased after the site downsized when senior writer Jayson Stark was let go in April 2017. Stark is now on MLB Network, Stadium and writes for The Athletic.

Passan, 38, will be asked to be as prolific as Schefter and Wojnarowski, who are generally regarded as the top insiders in their respective sports. Passan is expected to be on TV a good amount, though ESPN greatly favors the NFL and the NBA on its studio programming.

Initially, Passan is not expected to be on game broadcasts, like Olney, who is the dugout reporter on “Sunday Night Baseball,” and Kurkjian, who serves as a game analyst.

Passan begins after the new year. In the interim, he will continue to write for Yahoo. Yahoo still has Passan’s tag-team partner, Tim Brown, on baseball, and is expected to replace Passan. The site did try to retain Passan, according to sources.

This is the third high-profile insider the site has lost after Wojnarowski left for ESPN and another NBA insider, Shams Charania, recently went to The Athletic and Stadium. Even so, Yahoo has been making a lot of hires, as it tries to become even more nimble, while adding new programming on various platforms, including podcasts.

The PGA Championship did deals with CBS and ESPN/ESPN+ for 11 years, beginning in 2020. The tournament will move from August to May, which is a much better month for TV.

NBC/Golf Channel had interest, but the money didn’t make sense for them, according to sources. Turner had the PGA for nearly three decades, but bowed out to ESPN/ESPN+, which is on a George Steinbrenner-like spending spree, picking up rights from anywhere it can find them for Plus.

CBS retained its PGA package, which has gone up and down in the ratings, largely due to Tiger Woods. CBS Sports president Sean McManus said when making the deal, his network took Woods out of the equation.

“When we have him, it is 75 to 100 percent in increase in ratings,” McManus said. “So it is very important, although we didn’t do this deal dependent upon Tiger. If we get Tiger in the PGA Championship and he is in contention on the weekend, that will just be a bonus for us. But we didn’t factor that into our analysis.”

It is a long way off, but during the 11-year deal, it wouldn’t be surprising if Phil Mickelson becomes the next big name who could venture into the broadcast booth.

Quick Clicks: Peter Rosenberg is finishing up a new deal to continue with Hot 97. Besides being a host on “Ebro in the Morning,” Rosenberg, 39, is the third member of the “Michael Kay Show.” He also works WWE and has a program on Complex, plus, what seems like, about a thousand other projects. Rosenberg’s roots in New York are at Hot 97, where he has been for more than a decade. …. Like it does with the NBA, Turner does a good job of having fun with MLB pre- and postgame, putting Pedro Martinez and company in a position to laugh and feel free.

Clicker Books: For Clicker Book Reviews, we are turning to Papa Clicker. My dad, Herb, has read more sports books than anyone I know not named Mike Vaccaro. The idea here is to tell you about books worth your time.

Leading off is “Arthur Ashe: A Life,” by Raymond Arsenault. This is an excellent read, according to Papa Clicker, for anyone interested in Ashe’s fascinating life, but the author could have left out a few details because it is very long. So before you crack open this 629-page behemoth, make sure you have time. It is worth it, though, as Papa Clicker gives it a strong 4.6 out of 5 rating.
