An Important Conversation With Former Mets GM Jared Porter | 'Baseball Isn't Boring' Dec 02, 2024

Show notes

From 'Baseball Isn't Boring' (subscribe here): We haven't heard from Jared Porter publicly since his dismissal as the Mets' GM on Jan. 19, 2021 ... until now. Porter joins Rob Bradford on the podcast for an important conversation regarding some important topics. Jared reflects on the transgression involving explicit texts to a reporter in 2016 that led to his firing from New York, while opening up about his mindset in the years after. Porter details what happened after exiting the Mets and the lessons he learned - not only regarding his mindset in those years prior to leaving baseball, but also regarding his mental health in the years after. It is undoubtedly one of the most impactful BIB podcasts to date.
