The Mets, who were rocked by a series of sexual harassment charges that resulted in the firings of two staff members this year, informed employees in a letter this week that the team would adopt new guidelines to address a workplace culture that some said fostered sexist and bullying behavior.
In the companywide letter, which was distributed to the news media, Steven Cohen, who purchased the team in the last off-season, outlined “changes we are going to make to ensure that our community and culture will always be safe, respectful and inclusive.”
Cohen also announced that David Cohen, a longtime legal counsel to Mets ownership who is not related to the owner, and Holly Lindvall, the team’s head of human resources — both of whom were hired by the previous ownership group — were on their way out.
