Mets Fine Mickey Callaway, Jason Vargas for Clubhouse Altercation With Reporter

The Mets fined manager Mickey Callaway and starting pitcher Jason Vargas on Monday, general manager Brodie Van Wagenen announced.

The pair of fines are $10,000 each, per MLB.com's Anthony DiComo.

Callaway and Vargas got into an altercation with Newsday reporter Tim Healey on Sunday following the Mets' 5-3 loss to the Cubs. Callaway reportedly attempted to get Healey out of New York's clubhouse while Vargas had to be held back by teammates as he charged Healey.

"I think that yesterday was a tough loss, there was an opportunity that got away from us as we were in position to win the series with the Cubs," Van Wagenen said on Monday.
