Jared Porter: General Manager of the New York Mets Fire after clearly sending pictures to a female reporter

ESPA reports that while Porter was working as a professional scouting and special assistant to a female reporter for the Chicago Cubs, the woman sent the reporter “unfolding, ending with a picture of a naked penis”, unsolicited, explicit texts and photos.

Steve Cohen, owner of the Mets Tweeted Tuesday morning: “We finished Jared Porter this morning. At my initial press conference I talked about the importance of integrity and I meant that. There should be zero tolerance for this type of behavior.”

CNN is trying to reach out to Porter for comment.

The Mets president Sandy Alderson released the following statement on Tuesday. “The New York Mets have fired General Manager Jared Porter with immediate effect. Jared’s actions, reflected by the events announced last night, have failed to meet the Mets’ standards for professionalism and personal conduct.”

ESPA contacted Porter on Monday evening and reported that he had texted the woman. ESPN reports that it initially said it had not sent any pictures of itself, but when text messaging shows it confronts the network about sending pictures, Port told ESPN, according to the report: “The more explicit people are not mine. It’s kind of like a joke-stock image. ”

The stranger told ESPN: “My number one motivation is that I want to prevent this from happening to anyone else,” he said through an interpreter. “Obviously, he’s in a very big position of power. I want to prevent it from happening again. The other thing is I didn’t really realize he was really sorry.”

ESPN According to Porter, the woman apologized by text in 2016, when she said her messages were “very inappropriate, very insulting and out of line.”
