Can you believe Brodie Van Wagenen has been the New York Mets general manager for less than a year? Only about 340 days ago, he was super-agent of Jacob deGrom, proclaiming loudly that the team should either sign him to an extension or trade him. Only months later he became the general manager. Ever since, he has made an army of questionable decisions.
This week, a leaked source claims he’s running far more than we knew. During the team’s trip to Arizona, it was Van Wagenen from his home who contacted the Mets about removing deGrom from a game.
