According to new owner Steven Cohen, the New York Mets general manager Jared Porter has been fired this morning. Porter reportedly admits sending explicit texts to a female reporter. Mets general manager Jared Porter sent graphic, uninvited text messages and images to a female reporter in 2016 when working for the Chicago Cubs in their front office, ESPN reported Monday night.
Cohen took quick action in firing Porter. The New York Mets hired the 41-year-old Porter last month to a four-year contract after being with the Arizona Diamondbacks as its Senior Vice President and assistant general manager.
