Mets sack general manager for sending explicit texts, photo to reporter

Steve Cohen, the owner of New York Mets baseball team, has fired the team’s general manager, Jared Porter, after Porter admitted to sending lewd texts to a female reporter. ESPN reported Porter sent lewd text messages and a photo of ’an erect, naked penis’ to the reporter in 2016, when he was working for the Chicago Cubs. In a statement, the team said Porter ’failed to meet the Mets’ standards.’
