Although I have never managed a Major League Baseball team, I have to imagine one of the first things a candidate looks at is how long they potentially have to compete. A youthful team should appeal to many managerial candidates. The more talented they are, the better. If my thinking is true, the New York Mets manager job should certainly intrigue everyone out there.
So far, this has indeed been the case. Every human with a pulse seems to have a rumor about them and the position. I’m saving up some vacation days from my own job in case I get a call from Brodie Van Wagenen.
