Mets Fire GM Jared Porter
ESPN came out with a story late last night claiming Mets GM Jared Porter sent explicit images to a female reporter when he worked for the Chicago Cubs.Mets owner Steve Cohen announced he was terminated.
This marks the second time in a year that the Mets let a new hire go before even working one game. Both times the acts that caused a firing happened under another team’s watch. Last year Carlos Beltran was fired on January 16 after being named in the Astros sign stealing scandal. Now Porter on January 19 has been fired for an incident that happened a few years back with Chicago.

[Cohen] We have terminated Jared Porter this morning. In my initial press conference I spoke about the importance of integrity and I meant it. There should be zero tolerance for this type of behavior.

I'm hoping that's sarcasm, because otherwise, that's a ridiculous statement. He's batted .327 and .364 his 2 seasons as a Yankee, won Silver Sluggers both seasons. Unless the Yankees now play in Coors I'm missing something. Also, to minimize what he did In Colorado to just being a product of Coors is insanity, I totally don't see how the elevation played into his 3 Gold Gloves. He's an elite two way player.
No you don't understand. He will never succeed outside of Colorado. He is a product of Coors field and won't be able to put up those kind of numbers outside of it.

I reeeeeeeally like the Cohen guy. He hasn't been in the league long, but he may be the best owner in baseball with everything he has done so far.

The Cubs could have signed Jon Lester for $4 million, but didn't. Sigh

Someone on Blue Jays reddit just posted a Twitter link saying that the deal is done pending physical.....

The “sense” is that Toronto is “gaining some momentum” in its attempt to sign Springer, Heytman tweets. The Blue Jays appear to be the front-runners to reel in Springer, who Heyman notes could get upward of $125MM on his contract, but the Mets aren’t out yet.

(MLBTR)Don't believe a word Heyman says.
