ESPN’s Jeff Passan blasts WFAN for coverage of Jared Porter sexting scandal

It’s been an eventful few days for the New York Mets, and for all the wrong reasons.

On Monday night, a story from ESPN’s Mina Kimes and Jeff Passan revealed details of past sexual harassment — including unsolicited text messages and explicit images — from now-fired Mets general manager Jared Porter towards a foreign female reporter in 2016. ESPN apparently began working on the story in 2017 but just published it this week.

This prompted WFAN afternoon drive host Craig Carton to question why Kimes, Passan, and ESPN decided to wait so long to release the story.
