#Mets fire GM Jared Porter over sexting scandal

The Mets fired GM Jared Porter on Tuesday morning after a sexting scandal was brought to light.

“We have terminated Jared Porter this morning,” owner Steve Cohen tweeted. “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.”

Porter, who was hired by Mets team president Sandy Alderson this offseason, sent the texts to a foreign female reporter in 2016 when he was running the Cubs scouting department.
