Following an offseason of minimal activity, some New York Mets fan took matters into their own hands in an attempt to get general manager Brodie Van Wagenen to spend money.
Per James Wagner of the New York Times,Mets fan Frankie Wilton explained why he used Venmo to wire the team money.
"So many of the issues with this team throughout my life as a fan have just stemmed from finances, and I guess this was the only tool that I had," Wilton said. "You can write a letter, you can make a phone call or make some sort of public spectacle but none of that has to do directly with finances like Venmo does.
