Mets Fire GM Jared Porter, Acknowledges He Sent Explicit Images to female reporter

The New York Mets have parted ways with former general manager Jared Porter, who reportedly sent explicit unsolicited texts and images to a female reporter in 2016, while with the Chicago Cubs.

Mets owner, Steven Cohen was quick to cite “zero tolerance”.

We have terminated Jared Porter this morning . In 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.
