I’m still torn on what to think about the hiring of agent Brodie Van Wagenen. While I do think many of us are happy to see the New York Mets choose someone other than Doug Melvin, the fear of the unknown continues to feed our pessimism.
Not knowing what to expect from Van Wagenen in the general manager’s seat has left me clueless with any guesses as to how this offseason will go. Anyone who says otherwise should use those talents for something better like solving crimes.
The out-of-the-box hiring may sound fresh, but other agents have held the role of general manager in sports.
