The Angels suspended pitching coach Mickey Callaway on Tuesday, pending an investigation by Major League Baseball. A story by Britt Ghiroli and Katie Strang at The Athletic on Monday detailed allegations by five different women of lewd behavior by Callaway over several years and multiple cities.
“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 with MLB to conduct a full investigation.”
Callaway provided a statement on Monday to The Athletic:
In response to an email from The Athletic, Callaway wrote: “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.
