SNY TV analyst Nelson Figueroa has been dismissed from his job covering the New York Mets, according to a report.

The New York Post reported Figueroa was fired Friday after coming to work on Thursday in what the Post quoted sources as stating was “a state not fit to work.” Figueroa still wanted to appear on SNY’s evening program, “Baseball Night in New York,” but was not allowed to appear.

Tension in the clubhouse. Jason Vargas had to be separated from going after Tim Healey of Newsday.
Incident started with Mickey Callaway cursing out Healey for being an antagonist.
Callaway told the public relations staff to “Get this motherfucker” out of the clubhouse and when Healey didn’t leave, Vargas got into a stare down with him. Words were exchanged and Vargas had to be restrained from him.
