Terry Francona accused by son of 'covering up wrongdoings' by Mickey Callaway

The son of Cleveland Indians manager Terry Francona called out his father Tuesday on Twitter, accusing him of "covering up wrongdoings" by then-Indians pitching coach Mickey Callaway.

Callaway has been suspended as the Angels pitching coach while the team and Major League Baseball investigate multiple allegations of sexual harassment from his time with the Angels and Indians as well as while he was manager of the New York Mets.

Those allegations became public through an article published by the Athletic last month. On Tuesday, the site ran a second article by the same writers, Brittany Ghiroli and Katie Strang, with new information on the Callaway scandal.

Among them was the claim that Francona, general manager Mike Chernoff and team President Chris Antonetti had been made aware of at least one scandalous allegation about Callaway — a man claimed the coach had an affair with his wife and sent her “pornographic material” — but kept the information to themselves.

Nick Francona, a former Dodgers and New York Mets executive, took to Twitter on Tuesday to accuse his father of lying to him before the Mets hired Callaway as manager and failing "to understand what is acceptable behavior and what isn't."

Nick Francona said he confronted his father and others in the Indians organization after the first article appeared on the Athletic.
