Mets GM Jared Porter Sent Explicit, Unsolicited Texts to Reporter

Brad Penner-USA TODAY Sports

Mets general manager Jared Porter sent multiple explicit and unsolicited images to a female reporter in 2016, according to ESPN's Mina Kimes and Jeff Passan.

Porter, who was hired as New York's general manager in December, reportedly began a texting conversation with a foreign correspondent who moved to the United States to cover MLB. The woman met Porter at Yankee Stadium in June 2016, exchanging business cards after a brief conversation regarding international prospects. Porter then invited the reporter to meet him for a drink the next night. After the reporter declined to meet with Porter, he began a string of over 60 unsolicited texts, per Kimes and Passan.
