Imagine a baseball world where New York Mets ownership did not hire Brodie Van Wagenen, but, instead, chose Tampa Bay Rays executive Chaim Bloom as the man for the job. A reality where the powers that be made a more traditional hire at GM with a young, up and coming front office veteran who would have certainly had a different approach to the offseason than BVW had.
We would have seen an entirely different offseason for the Metropolitans than the one we just saw unfold in front of us, move by move.
And just how we saw the moves made (and not made) this offseason that got us to the current version of the Amazins, how would the timeline of transactions have unfolded if Bloom was calling the shots and not Van Wagenen?
