Major League Baseball has updated its code of conduct about harassment and discrimination in the wake of two published stories documenting accounts of misconduct.
In a memo, obtained by The Athletic's Lindsey Adler, MLB will provide a third-party anonymous hotline for reporting incidents of harassment and will require “anti-harassment and discrimination training for Club executives” during spring training.
In January, the Mets fired general manager Jared Porter, who had been hired in December 2020, after ESPN reported on a string of explicit and unsolicited text messages sent to a female reporter in 2016.
