Former Mets manager and current Los Angeles Angels pitching coach Mickey Callaway has been suspended by the Halos after an article was published last night that documented lewd and inappropriate text messages he sent to women in the baseball industry over the span of three teams and five years.
On Monday night, Ken Rosenthal, Brittany Ghiroli and Katie Strang of The Athletic released a bombshell story, that highlighted reports from several women who reported having uncomfortable and inappropriate encounters with Callaway, including a few instances where he sent topless photos of himself and asked for nude photographs in return.
“Late yesterday, we were made aware of the allegations reported in The Athletic,” Angels spokesperson Marie Garvey said in a statement. “This morning we suspended Mickey Callaway, and will work closely wit MLB to conduct a full investigation.”
Callaway has denied any wrongdoing which protects him from being fired without an investigation, according to Alden Gonzalez of ESPN.
