Major League Baseball plans to launch an investigation into the conduct of former Mets general manager Jared Porter, according to USA Today's Bob Nightengale.
The investigation could lead to a suspension in which Porter would be required to "apply for reinstatement to work again in baseball," per Nightengale.
Porter was fired by New York on Tuesday – just one day after ESPN revealed he sent a string of unsolicited and explicit text messages to a female reporter.
Porter reportedly met the reporter in question in June 2016 and texted her more than 60 times without a response.
