Callaway banned through ’22 over harassment probe

MLB suspended former New York Mets manager Mickey Callaway through at least the end of the 2022 season after an investigation of sexual harassment allegations. In a report published Feb. 1, The Athletic said Callaway “aggressively pursued” several women who work in sports media and sent three “inappropriate” photos. Callaway, 46, was Cleveland’s pitching coach for five years before managing the Mets in 2018 and 2019. He was hired in October 2019 as pitching coach for the Los Angeles Angels, who suspended him Feb. 2 and fired him Wednesday.
