‘I’ll knock you the f--k out, bro!’: Mickey Callaway and Jason Vargas in screaming clubhouse altercation with reporter
By DEESHA THOSAR

JUN 23, 2019 | 6:54 PM
CHICAGO – After another bad loss Sunday afternoon, tension quickly escalated into hostility in the Mets clubhouse. Manager Mickey Callaway cursed out Mets beat writer Tim Healey of Newsday. Then, pitcher Jason Vargas took steps toward Healey looking for a fight before the two were separated by a handful of people.
Four words sparked Callaway to let out a string of aggravated curse words directed at Healey.
“See you tomorrow, Mickey,” Healey said to Callaway as the manager walked by the reporter in the clubhouse following the postgame presser.
“Don’t be a smartass,” Callaway said to Healey as the manager kept walking. Under his breath and turned away from Healey, but incredibly audible, Callaway called Healey a “motherf---er.”
After a minute, Callaway walked back to Healey and let out a string of curse words. The manager told the reporter not to speak like that to him, knowing he and the team are upset following the loss. Callaway made fun of the way in which Healey said, “See you tomorrow” by mimicking the reporter. Callaway said Healey meant the choice words sarcastically.
“Shut the f--k up, get out of my face. Get out of here,” Callaway said as Healey attempted to explain he did not mean to slight the manager in any way.

“Get this motherf---er out of here, he’ll be here tomorrow,” Callaway said while asking Mets PR to remove Healey from the clubhouse.
A few beats later, Vargas and Healey were in a stare down. Vargas asked Healey why the reporter is looking at him, to which Healey replied, “It looked like you had something to say.”
“I’ll knock you the f--k out, bro” Vargas said to Healey. Seconds later, Vargas charged toward Healey and the two were separated by teammates Carlos Gomez and Noah Syndergaard, as well as a Mets official, among others. Healey left the clubhouse shortly after the intense altercation.
Players in the clubhouse were getting changed and packing up their belongings to embark for Philadelphia. Wrigley Field has one of the smallest clubhouses in the league, so Callaway and Vargas could be heard from the other side of the room.
First-base coach Glenn Sherlock stood near the initial altercation between Callaway and Healey, staring and listening but not getting involved. No Met player besides Vargas made any move to get involved, either, until Vargas had to be separated from Healey.
Edwin Diaz shouted, “Sacalo! Sacalo!” meaning, “Get him out,” after Vargas and Healey were separated. Players wanted Healey to exit the clubhouse before the altercation heightened further. Healey briefly spoke with Mets PR, saying he didn’t mean anything by the comment, before removing himself from the situation.
Callaway was particularly irked before he cursed at Healey. During the postgame interview, Mets beat writer Matt Ehalt of Yahoo Sports asked Callaway if he should reconsider using closer Edwin Diaz for a five-out situation.
"No, just because you think so? Absolutely not. We have a very good plan. We know what we’re doing and we’re going to stick to it,” Callaway said.
General manager Brodie Van Wagenen was at the Mets game, but he left to catch a flight at the final out. He was not expected to be in attendance for the Mets’ four-game series against the Phillies on Monday. However, those plans may be forced to change following Sunday afternoon’s intense events.
On Sunday night, the Mets issued an official statement.
“The Mets sincerely regret the incident that took place with one of our beat writers following today’s game in the clubhouse. We do not condone this type of behavior from any employee. The organization has reached out and apologized to this reporter and will have further discussions internally with all involved parties.”

Re: London series
Edit- well, that didn’t age well. Must be the thin London air.
Edit 2- okay, they are playing in a sandbox and the Yanks are mashing this bullpen

MLB International Plan Clarified: WBC in 2021, No Asia Opener in 2020
by Kevin Reichard on June 30, 2019 in Major-League Baseball
With the Boston Red Sox/New York Yankees series at London Stadium deemed a success, MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred laid out the current MLB international plan: No Asia opener in 2020, potentially more games across Europe, and the return of the World Baseball Classic in 2021.
The 2019 MLB season began early, when the Seattle Mariners and Oakland Athletics opened in March in Tokyo. The current agreement with the players union allows for a 2020 opener in Asia as well, but Manfred says that MLB will pass on any Asia offer. With the Chicago Cubs and the St. Louis Cardinals set to play in London during the 2020 season, Manfred says his office’s focus will be on Europe, though there may be additional games scheduled in Mexico (this season saw spring-training and regular-season games played in Mexico). From AP:
“I would like to have sustained play in Europe,” Manfred said. “I’m glad we’re coming back next year. I’d like to be back after that. But I am interested in having play in other cities in Europe.”
Manfred would not identify which cities interest him.
“We’re really at a very preliminary point. They key thing with any city is the facility,” he said. “A lot of people will tell you they can build a ballpark. Until you get on the ground and figure whether a particular facility can be configured for baseball, it’s just premature to get into other cities.”
International play has been deemed a success in the NFL, where the Jacksonville Jaguars have established roots in London thanks to an annual games.
Meanwhile, Manfred confirmed the return of the World Baseball Classic in 2021. The tournament begins with play around the globe before later rounds take place in the United States. It was deemed a success in 2017, with strong crowds in Tokyo and the United States, culminating with a tournament record crowd of 51,565 for the championship game at Dodger Stadium. You can read more about the WBC plans at our sister site, Spring Training Online. One interesting twist we may see in 2021: a European site. The 2017 WBC sites were located in Tokyo, South Korea and the United States; given MLB’s current love affair with Europe, it would not be too surprising to see the WBC extended there as well.
