Callaway Bites Cleveland

The Cleveland Indians are now part of the Mickey Callaway scandal as sources tell the Athletic Cleveland management knew about Callayway’s behavior. (May require a subscription.) On top of that, Terry Francona‘s son Nick Francona comes right out and says his father knew what was going on:

“I was disappointed to read the reporting in The Athletic this morning by Katie Strang and Britt Ghiroli,” Nick Fracona, who was the Mets’ assistant director of player development from 2017 to 2018, wrote in a statement on Twitter Tuesday. “Unfortunately, I cannot say that I am surprised. When the news about Mickey Callaway’s behavior first came out earlier this year, I confronted my father, Chris Antonetti, and others with the Cleveland Indians.

“I wanted to know why they didn’t say anything to me when the Mets hired Mickey Callaway and they gave him a strong endorsement. My father lied to me and said he didn’t know. Additionally, I think he and his colleagues fail to understand what is acceptable behavior and what isn’t.”
