Mets' Mickey Callaway, Jason Vargas Involved in Clubhouse Confrontation With Reporter

Mets manager Mickey Callaway and Jason Vargas got into a confrontation with a reporter Sunday following the team's 5–3 loss to the Cubs.

Callaway and Vargas cursed Newsday reporter Tim Healey, and Vargas challenged Healey to a fight in the clubhouse, according to Yahoo Sports' Matt Ehalt.

Vargas then got into a shouting match with the reporter, over a staredown, and said at one point: "Ill knock you the f*** out, bro."

He charged such reporter and had to held back by Gomez and Syndergaard.— Matt Ehalt (@MattEhalt) June 23, 2019

The Record's Justin Toscano reports Healey said, "See you tomorrow, Mickey" and that's when Callaway walked away but was mumbling under his breathe.
