MLB Players' Association Executive Director Tony Clark said Friday players are concerned about agent Brodie Van Wagenen being a finalist for the New York Mets' general manager position.
According to ESPN.com, Clark acknowledged that players are worried about Van Wagenen using information gained as an agent against them in negotiating contracts as a GM: "They understand the opportunities that exist for representatives to make the decisions that they are going to make. To the extent that possibility exists, I would be confident in suggesting that the understanding and appreciation for confidential information remains so."
Clark also noted "membership is paying attention" in reference to the MLB Players' Association keeping close tabs on the situation.
