The New York Mets and the Chicago Cubs will play a game at Citi Field in New York City on June 16, 2021.
The firing of the acting general manager of the New York Mets, who was found not guilty in a drunken driving case, came after less than a year on the job.
Scott was ordered by the judge to pay fines for traffic violations.
In a statement issued after the verdict in a Westchester County court, where he went on trial last month, he said, "I am thankful for today's verdict."
I regret the choices I made on August 31 and the circumstances that led to my arrest. I wish my former teammates nothing but the best going forward, and I am grateful for the opportunity to lead baseball operations for the Mets.
Scott was found not guilty on several drinking and driving charges.
Scott's lawyer argued during the trial that he had not failed a standard field sobriety test. The idea that Scott was drunk was not reflected in the police body cam footage.
Scott tested positive for Covid-19 in December and the verdict was delayed, according to media reports.
Scott was taken into custody at 4:30 a.m. He was stopped in White Plains, New York, in Westchester County. Scott lives in the suburb of Rye and was found by the police in White Plains.
Scott was at the Connecticut home of Mets owner Steve Cohen for a charity event hours before his arrest.
Scott was charged with driving while intoxicated and was issued a traffic ticket for disobeying a traffic control device, as well as failing to notify the Department of Motor Vehicles about a change in address.
Scott was placed on leave by the Mets after they banned him from traveling with the team on the day of his arrest.
Scott replaced Porter, who was fired by the Mets in January 2021, after he admitted sending explicit text messages to a female reporter.
Scott was fired by the Mets two months later.
