Fired Mets GM Porter suspended by MLB through 2022 season
NEW YORK (AP) Fired New York Mets general manager Jared Porter has been suspended by Major League Baseball through at least the end of the 2022 regular season following an investigation that began after a report that he sent sexually explicit text messages and images to a female reporter in 2016 while he was working for the Chicago Cubs. Baseball Commissioner Rob Manfred announced the discipline without saying specifically what the investigation had found. The 41-year-old Porter is eligible to apply for reinstatement after the final game of the 2022 regular season. That timetable could allow him to apply for front-office openings that October. He previously worked for the Arizona Diamondbacks and Boston Red Sox.
Smiling all the way to prison
Once again, the justice system is denying “justice”. High profile and often reported crimes that our citizens become involved in (Krystal Lee Kenney and Kelsey Berreth immediately come to mind) are becoming almost intolerable.
How the man who played a role in the execution-style murder of two teenagers will likely get parole in 20 years is a crime on its own. Judge David Shakes had his hands tied behind his back. The prosecution team should be ashamed of themselves for doing such a poor job that the first trial ended in a mistrial.
Yes, there is always risk that the second trial would have resulted in acquittal, but I suspect the two victims’ family members would have been willing to gamble on that as opposed to a cold-blooded murderer getting a lenient sentence.
(Atlanta, GA) A Georgia tourism official says Major League Baseball s decision to pull the All-Star Game from Atlanta will have a 100-million dollar impact. Baseball Commissioner Rob Manfred announced Friday that the All-Star game and draft won t be held in Atlanta, in response to a new law critics say will make it harder to vote. Holly Quilan is CEO and president of Cobb Travel and Tourism. She said losing revenue for the eight-thousand Atlanta-area hotel rooms contracted to Major League Baseball will hurt the hospitality industry and other local businesses.

Sen.
Marco Rubio joined conservative voices calling foul on Major League Baseball for moving its All-Star Game from Atlanta. The Miami Republican specifically called out Baseball Commissioner
Rob Manfred for keeping a membership with the Augusta National Golf Club.
“I am under no illusion that Major League Baseball will sacrifice business revenue on behalf of its alleged corporate values. Similarly, I am under no illusion you intend to resign as a member from Augusta National Golf Club,” Rubio said. “To do so would require a personal sacrifice, as opposed to the woke corporate virtue signaling of moving the All Star Game from Atlanta.”
