Mets fire GM Porter over explicit texts to reporter
Print Edition
The New York Mets have fired general manager Jared Porter for sending unsolicited, inappropriate text messages to a female reporter, Mets owner Steven Cohen said yesterday.
鈥淲e have terminated Jared Porter this morning,鈥 Cohen said in a statement on Twitter. 鈥淚n my initial press conference I spoke about the importance of integrity and I meant it. There should be zero tolerance for this type of behavior.鈥 The Mets had said in an earlier statement that they were internally reviewing the incident, with team president Sandy Alderson confirming that Porter had acknowledged making a 鈥渟erious error in judgment.鈥 ESPN had reported on Monday night that Porter sent explicit, unsolicited texts and images to the reporter, citing a copy of the text history it had obtained. The Mets confirmed Porter鈥檚 dismissal on their website. Porter, 41, joined the Mets in December. The team has not yet announced his replacement.
