New York Mets manager Mickey Callaway and pitcher Jason Vargas have been fined by the team following a confrontation with a reporter in the clubhouse Sunday.
Mets general manager Brodie Van Wagenen, who announced the fines Monday, called the incident "disappointing" and "regrettable."
Van Wagenen did not comment when asked whether the Mets considered suspending Callaway or Vargas. The Mets do not expect Major League Baseball to further punish either Callaway or Vargas, according to Van Wagenen.
The dust-up with beat writer Tim Healey of Newsday occurred after the Mets blew a late lead in their 5-3 defeat to the Chicago Cubs at Wrigley Field.
