Cubs is trending

New York Mets general manager Jared Porter sent explicit photos, including a naked picture of a penis, to a foreign female reporter in 2016 after she had ignored dozens of other messages from him for weeks. Details in news story with @minakimes at ESPN: https://t.co/gAOzQlTeAf

Definitely one of the most iconic moments of the last 4 years:

Jon Lester. The best. He changed everything. HE CHANGED EVERYTHING CUB. His arrival meant a new day & era. Adversity early @ Wrigley & he said 🖕 He saved his best for the biggest games. The #Cubs paid him big & he performed BIGGER. Thank you @JLester34.

Breaking: The Mets have fired GM Jared Porter, according to owner Steve Cohen. The news comes less than 24 hours after ESPN's @minakimes and @JeffPassan reported that Porter sent graphic, uninvited text messages and images to a female reporter in 2016 when he was with the Cubs.

The best free agent signing in Cubs history.

Via @GDubCub: The Cubs spent 108 years becoming a punchline until finally winning that 2016 championship. It's taken them four years to become a joke again. https://t.co/rjoi7msAp7

A federal judge ordered the new owners of an Oklahoma zoo featured in Netflix’s “Tiger King” documentary to turn over all the lion and tiger cubs and their mothers to the federal government. https://t.co/ammQp46Y7H

Jon Lester had a .636 winning percentage and a 3.64 ERA with the Red Sox. He also had a .636 winning percentage and a 3.64 ERA with the Cubs.

According to @thekapman on the Cubs Talk Podcast: Jon Lester made it clear to the Chicago Cubs that he wanted to stay and retire a Cub. Lester even called the Cubs ownership telling them that he doesn't want to go anywhere else.

The veteran. The lefthander. Number 34. BDJ. - 2 ASG appearances - 1 NLCS MVP - 77-44 w/ a 3.64 ERA overall - 2.44 ERA in 12 Playoff games - 1 World Series Championship Thank you for everything, Jon Lester. Forever a Chicago Cubs legend. https://t.co/wJDNbFusJ3

This Jared Porter story is so depressing, gross, and common. Bet there are a lot of guys in sports getting very nervous reading a story about a man who wouldn’t stop sending explicit messages despite being ignored for sixty previous texts https://t.co/2CuwnxPzgK

. @JLester34 , we want to congratulate you on a great cubs career. thank you for everything. one of these will be sent to you asap, & maybe we can even raise some money for the struggling chicago bars. lets do it, god bless https://t.co/2XENuqVtiO

Former Cubs executive Jared Porter — who recently was hired as the Mets general manager — sent graphic, uninvited text messages and images to a female reporter in 2016, ESPN reported Monday night. https://t.co/wf0GjiR3C6

As good a time as any to enjoy Jon Lester’s postgame interview after he and the Cubs knocked out his new team, Washington, in the 2017 NLDS. https://t.co/mVxJw3s3VL

6 years ago today, the Houston Astros traded OF Dexter Fowler to the Cubs for 3B Luis Valbuena and P Dan Straily, helping allow Kris Bryant to take over third base. #Cubs https://t.co/9JcrJbQbnd

Just a couple of Cubs 🐻 https://t.co/QiqUn7MlBf

I tried to get some sleep after reading the ESPN story about Jared Porter sending explicit texts to a female reporter. Instead, I kept rolling over to grab my phone and jot down thoughts. Those notes became this column: https://t.co/LGBuO33cOH

#OTD in 1977, Ernie Banks was elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame. Here’s a painting of him during the last week of the 1953 season, complete with gold tooth and a zipper-front Cubs jersey.

It continues to blow my mind that men will text a woman they know professionally with unsolicited advances, over and over again, with no response, then apologize, then do it all over again and over again, as if the persistence will pay off https://t.co/4tvNiaJjhl

Here the thing that we SHOULD be absolutely LIVID about in regards to the Jared Porter situation...... Who is the "baseball source" that decided that going to ESPN instead of the Cubs front office was the right thing to do??? https://t.co/zqymPeNY2K

Some comments - Sandy was put in a tough spot, this surprised everyone for many reasons. - This isn’t just a Mets issue, it’s a sports issue as a whole. - Instead of preaching diversity actually show it. - The Cubs and DBacks should be asked these same questions about Porter

Good. Now the @Cubs should apologize to and compensate the woman whose career as a baseball reporter, and desire to live in America, were both ruined by this asshat and his harassment. https://t.co/0HS7Uw071J

@TenSecondCynic Yes, that is correct. He was 0-13 with 1 save in his first 18 appearances against the Cubs until his first win on Aug. 10, 1969. Via @Stathead: https://t.co/pHMQMhuDu5

This article was hard to read because it's so relatable. I hope more women see this and feel empowered to speak up. Thank you @minakimes and @JeffPassan for reporting on this scarring topic for this woman with great sensitivity. https://t.co/5D618NFg9I

@mspiel24 @crackers8199 @Moses0507 Absolutely. The Cubs are really testing my patience recently. They better have a thorough investigation, including of the employee who basically silenced the woman.

@JohnSchena @honkhonk665 @TheAthletic the 2016 cubs came to mind
