Mickey Callaway, the former New York Mets manager and current pitching coach for the Los Angeles Angels, aggressively pursued at least five women who work in sports media, sending three of them inappropriate photographs and asking one of them to send nude photos in return. He sent them unsolicited electronic messages and regularly commented on their appearance in a manner that made them uncomfortable. In one instance, he thrust his crotch near the face of a reporter as she interviewed him. In another, he told one of the women that if she got drunk with him he’d share information about the Mets.
He was very smooth:
In one text, which The Athletic reviewed, Callaway wrote to the woman: “I bet you look yummy on tequila,” with a smiley face. In another, he wrote: “Our sleep doctor in Cleveland said you should always sleep naked. Healthier for your skin and rest so much better. Have to let perfect skin breathe!” That text went unanswered. So did his request to take her to a Lumineers concert.
The Cleveland area female media member is Mandy Bell I bet. The California one sounds like Molly Knight.

I don't think that Bell and Mickey would have crossed paths. Didn't she just start beat writing in 2020 or maybe 2019 for them?
My money is on Katie Witham

Good lord. He is going to have SUCH a great regular season.
Again.
I am cheering for him.
Legit question did he turn down the Sox previously? I know Phillies fans were pissed that he didn’t want to come here
Not that I know of. The dude is content to hang in Cali, cash some checks, put up some stats to give MAWGs boners, and call it a day early every October.

yep, guy works and becomes an all-time great, zero desire to win a championship, no competitive drive, would rather attend Eagles games in October

not for nothing, but I dont care for his seats. Row 1 in the end zone. Why would anyone want those seats at a football game.
Your hatred of Trout continues to fascinate me. I'm aware he's never won anything, but I didn't know being absolutely insanely awesome at baseball was a bad thing if your team sucks. The MAWG angle is especially odd IMHO. I mean, does anyone besides MAWGs even watch baseball? Probably not. But you seem to be implying that there's something about Trout - as opposed to other good players - that is particularly attractive to MAWGs, and I just don't get it.

If you have some time today (LOL) do a little research on the old guard national baseball writers and their commentaries on Trout. They LOVE them some Mike Trout. Just a slice of all American pie, hittin' homers, catching fly balls, reminding everyone of ol' number 7 in the Bronx.
He's a great player, no doubt. But the boner these people have for him will never make sense to me while he continues to toil in regular season anonymity out there.

One of the problems with Trout is that he is so consistently good, but does almost nothing on a spectacular level.
He'll have a good average, but never up near .370. He'll steal more bases than he should, but never really get up into the 50-range (except his second season). He'll hit a lot of homers but never really challenge 60 in a year. He'll hit 40+ homers but most of them seem to travel 421 feet, never a 450-500-footer. Rarely has diving catches, but is known as a very good defender.
I imagine that it is a lot like watching Hank Aaron. Guy is just good, but never produces a highlight. It's kinda crazy.
He's now been in the big leagues for nine years, and he has never had three straight games where he hasn't gotten on base. That's legit mind-blowing.

So you want him to call his superstar friends and decide where to go to win a championship? Very inconsistent of you.

That does actually kind of explain Kite's thing about the MAWG appeal. These BWAA types love the old-school types who just put up numbers without doing anything flashy. I think it's a weird reason to hate on him for getting that attention, but w.e.
