Angels fire Mickey Callaway, placed on MLB Ineligible List through 2022

[Jay]

Please explain why we should accept anything Nick Francona says?

That said it would be par for the course for MLB to whitewash to the greatest extent possible.

[Stradling]

Well it’s not like Nick Francona is an absolute nobody.  He is only a couple years removed from being part of our organization.  That being said I have no idea if he’s a credible source on this.

I wouldn't be shocked though.

Do we really see him returning after all this? It's unfortunate because even if there's no evidence, he's already been convicted by social media and it will absolutely give the Angels bad press.

Again, it's stupid but it's the way it is.

Did Scotty hack your account and lose memory of the first (checks) 40 pages of this thread?

I’m pretty sure he’s saying IF the findings show that it was consensual...

Fixed.

I certainly don’t think that.  I’ll let the usuals be ridiculous

No clue about Nick, but we know nothing Tito will say about the subject is credible...   At least based on the Athletic article.

Look at mmc's post just above yours.  That's really the only update in the article, unfortunately.

I will again say that I cannot imagine what is taking so long to complete this investigation.

You can’t imagine?  Maybe he just boned chicks that wanted him and thankfully that’s still legal.

Correct, I said I can't imagine what's taking so long in the investigation and I stand by that.  Even if what you're speculating is the way it's going down, it seems like that shouldn't take 7 weeks or whatever, either.  At this point, I'm not even saying what I think might or might not have happened.  It's just bizarre that it's taking this long.

[Stradling]

Hey @cals, if the Angels were to fire him before the end of the investigation, would they lose a lawsuit for wrongful termination regardless of the outcome of the investigation?   I would think they would based on being fired prior to the findings of the investigation.

Those are very good questions.  I don’t do that type of law but I would guess that they could fire him but if it turns out I’m right and he’s just a real ladies man then they risk a lawsuit later.  In the highly unlikely event he’s a creep, then they would be fine.  Even then he could sue and claim he was framed by a bunch of lying broads (and he’s probably win, TBH).

Oh I assumed that since California says he’s entitled to an investigation, based on denying it, that if they fired him without the conclusion then that’s breaking a labor law or some shit like that.

it's well deserved. i don't know if you're an actual lawyer, but that was an awful summation.

it comes at the end when you argue with the judge and call him names.
