Angels suspend Micky Calloway after a damning article from the Athletic about him sexually harassing at least five female reporters as part of the coaching staff with the Indians, Mets, and Angels. He is currently under investigation by the Angels and MLB.
Calloway denies any wrongdoing, which is why he likely hasn't been outright fired yet (California law apparently protects employees from being terminated on sexual misconduct allegations without an investigation if they deny it), but there's receipts so I have no clue how he can argue these things didn't happen.

Looks like the Trevor Bauer sweepstakes is down to Mets and Dodgers

Saying it now: if the Mets sign Trevor Bauer, I will not be watching any of his starts, and once we're able to buy tickets to games again I'm not going so long as he's on the team.
Seriously furious about this; have our GM and former manager outed as sex pests, then potentially move right on to bringing in a serial online harasser who likes targeting women. Oh, and with the rumored contract he'd get it's just about guarantee losing one of Syndergaard, Lindor, or Conforto to free agency next year, or Jacob deGrom opting out of his current deal after 2022, and we'll be in line to lose tons of draft picks while having a seriously depleted system (thanks, Wilpons!).
I'd be happier losing without this guy than winning with him. I'm a fan of this team going back to my earliest childhood memories, they are my first and greatest sports love, and it just feels like between this awfulness and the all the ridiculous rule change proposals MLB is pushing that it's actively pushing me away, and good God does that sting.

I think the Mets dodged a bullet by losing out on the Trevor Bauer sweepstakes. He's kind of a piece of crap, which the Mets don't need after the PR black eyes they took with Porter and Calloway. And while he is a good pitcher, I think his stats last year got massively inflated feasting on the poor NL and AL Central.
The price the Dodgers are paying for him (and the Mets were willing to pay for him) is completely absurd.

I’m glad the Giants have no interest in actually being good anytime soon playing in the same division as the Dodgers and Padres.

Conflicted, not just personality stuff but more or less that I'm not entirely sure how much of what we last saw of Bauer is how he'll play the majority of the time. Still, it's a three-year deal that has opt-outs after Years 1 and 2, meaning the idea of locking up Belli and Seager isn't impossible. Feels like an overpay to overkill, wonder if Dodgers are eyeing any trade because of this.

3/$105 mill $40 mill in year 1 and $45 mill in year 2 Opt outs in both year 1 and 2 so they basically gave him everything he wanted and assuming things bounce back in 2022, he will hit the market again but he is guaranteed to hit the market in year 3 for sure

Vince Coleman, Lenny Dykstra, the Wilpons, Jose Reyes, Cohen, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know. Had enough other Mets fans telling me I'm fanning wrong for not walking away when those guys were around (nevermind that I was a child for a bunch of them) but drawing the line on Bauer. I 100% stand behind what I said.

MLB needs a salary floor, there should be no way you can allow 1 player to make more money then 3 teams entire payrolls
