"This morning we suspended Mickey Callaway, and
will work closely with MLB to conduct a full investigation," the
Angels said in a statement.
The former manager of the New York Mets reportedly sent
shirtless photos to women, sent repeated invitations to meet
with them and commented on their appearance. Callaway allegedly
pushed his crotch near the face of one of the women while he was
being interviewed.
The incidents reportedly happened during his time as manager of
the Mets (2018 and 2019) and during his prior stint as pitching
coach with the Cleveland Indians (2013-17).
None of the women's names were published by The Athletic.
Asked for comment by The Athletic, Callaway wrote in an email,
"Rather than rush to respond to these general allegations of
which I have just been made aware, I look forward to an
opportunity to provide more specific responses. Any relationship
in which I was engaged has been consensual, and my conduct was
in no way intended to be disrespectful to any women involved. I
am married and my wife has been made aware of these general
allegations."
Callaway went 163-161 in his two season as manager of the Mets
before being dimissed.
