Mets Fire General Manager Jared Porter for Sending Inappropriate Text Message to Reporter, Apologizes for Actions: U.S. News & World Report

In a shocking turn of events, New York Mets General Manager Jared Porter has been fired after admitting to sending an inappropriate text message to a female reporter in 2016. The incident has sparked outrage and condemnation from fans and fellow colleagues alike.

Porter, who was hired by the Mets just a month ago, confessed to sending unsolicited and explicit text messages to the reporter while working for the Chicago Cubs in 2016. The messages, which included a picture of a naked, erect penis, were revealed in a recent article published by ESPN.

In a statement released by the Mets, team owner Steve Cohen expressed his disappointment and disgust over Porter’s actions, stating that there is no place for such behavior in the organization. The Mets have since terminated Porter’s contract, effectively ending his brief tenure with the team.

The incident has reignited the conversation about the treatment of women in sports journalism and the toxic culture that often exists within the industry. Many are calling for a more thorough investigation into Porter’s past behavior and for stricter consequences for those who engage in inappropriate conduct.

As for Porter, he has issued a public apology to the reporter and anyone else who may have been affected by his actions. He has expressed deep regret and shame for his behavior and has vowed to seek help and make amends for his actions.

The Mets, meanwhile, are left to deal with the fallout from this scandal and find a new leader to guide the team through the upcoming season. The search for a new general manager is already underway, as the team looks to move forward and distance themselves from this embarrassing chapter in their history.
