Often, when a new general manager is hired, there are lots of changes. Every new GM likes to put their stamp on their team. More often than not new GM’s also don’t have a problem with detaching themselves from players they did not draft themselves. It’s no different with the New York Mets in 2019.
As Brodie Van Wagenen takes office this year in Flushing, it will be interesting to see what he does with players he did not bring in on his own. One name, in particular, is Tomas Nido.
Nido, who was often featured on the Mets prospect list has yet to really stick around on the big league level.
