New report about Mets' 'toxic workplace' details how complaints of inappropriate conduct were ignored

Here are parts of what was reported by Katie Strang and Brittany Ghiroli:

• Former executive producer for content and marketing, Joe DeVito, was accused of sexual harassments by multiple women. He texted at least one employee, saying, "I've barely even hit on you. So that counts for something."
• Former hitting performance coordinator, Ryan Ellis, is alleged to have made "aggressive sexual comments" and sending "persistent suggestive text messages."
• Seven employees, male and female, told The Athletic that David Newman, chief marketing, content and communications officer, made inappropriate remarks to female employees. Regarding Newman, one woman who was interviewing with the Mets, said she was told the following: "He's an asshole who is terrible to work for, but he can get you where you need to go."
• Former employees said their complaints were ignored when reported to the team's human resources department. "You could not go to HR to feel protected, comfortable, anything," a former employee said.
