Rookie general manager Brodie Van Wagenen talked a big game this offseason before the New York Mets team he helped build even played a game. The early results have been incredibly poor, placing the Mets near the bottom of the National League.
Van Wagenen’s first half as general manager included some notable DFAs, a couple of low-key trades, and his first draft. We’re still learning more about BVW the GM. In the second half, we’ll get to know him even better.
What do we want to know about Van Wagenen? It’s not who he is or what he believes in.
