Outfielder George Springer has agreed to a six-year, $150 million contract with the Toronto Blue Jays, according to media reports Tuesday night.

The 31-year-old Springer is a three-time All-Star who spent his entire seven-season career with the Houston Astros, and was the World Series MVP when the Astros beat the L.A. Dodgers for the championship in 2017. 

 

Mets Fire Jared Porter

The New York Mets fired general manager Jared Porter Tuesday over uninvited sexually explicit texts he sent to a female reporter in 2016 when he was with the Chicago Cubs.

The Mets had hired the 41-year-old just over one month ago. ESPN reported the story late Monday, saying some of the texts included explicit images. The woman wasn’t identified, but ESPN said she was a foreign correspondent who’d come to the U.S. to cover Major League Baseball.
