"&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The New York Mets asked for and were granted an extension to respond to a discrimination lawsuit filed by former employee Leigh Castergine, reports Eric Fisher of Sports Business Journal. &amp;nbsp;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Instead of needing to respond to the lawsuit by Oct. 2, the Mets now have until Oct. 31.&amp;nbsp;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\u2022&lt;strong&gt;REITER&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;: Alex Cobb among second half breakout stars&lt;/strong&gt;\r\n\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Mets wanting and getting extension not uncommon. So barring some of kind of settlement (not likely), this will all prob be quiet for a while\r\n\u2014 Eric Fisher (@EricFisherSBJ) September 17, 2014\r\n\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Castergine, the Mets' former senior vice president for ticket sales and service,&amp;nbsp;filed a lawsuit last week against the&amp;nbsp;team's front office and co-owner Jeff Wilpon. It accuses the team of firing Castergine because Wilpon was opposed to her having a baby without being married.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;She alleges that she reported Wilpon's behavior and that no action was taken, and that the team's executive director of human resources advised her to quit.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Wilpon fired Castergine on Aug. 20, with the stated reason that Castergine failed to reach her sales goals.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;- &lt;em&gt;Molly Geary&lt;/em&gt;\r\n&lt;/p&gt;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
