Mickey Callaway, the former manager of the Mets who had been serving as the pitching coach of the Los Angeles Angels, was placed on baseball’s ineligible list on Wednesday after an investigation into sexual harassment claims against him. The report claimed the harassment occurred over a five-year period during which Callaway was employed by three teams, including the Mets. The teams involved agreed to participate in Major League Baseball’s investigation, a result of which is Callaway’s placement on a list that keeps him entirely away from the game for an unspecified period of time. “My office has completed its investigation into allegations of sexual harassment by Mickey Callaway,” Rob Manfred, the M.L.B. “Having reviewed all of the available evidence, I have concluded that Mr. Callaway violated M.L.B.’s policies, and that placement on the Ineligible List is warranted.”
