New New York Mets GM Brodie Van Wagenen appears to be a confident guy. He was asked for an early assessment of the 2019 Mets during this week’s news conference to announce the signing of Wilson Ramos. Without hesitation, he declared, “internally we would argue that we’re the favorites in the division right now.”
What? Hold your horses there. Does he think that Mets fans are that gullible? Is he familiar with the history of this franchise? Has he experienced the pain and humiliation Mets fans have had to endure over the years?
Sadly, as longtime Mets fans know all too well, the club has been down this road before.
