The New York Mets are a mess right now. On a night that should have put social justice issues at the forefront, organizational dysfunction ends up ruling the day.
In a video that was posted to the official Mets website and picked up by a fan, general manager Brodie Van Wagenen appeared to be criticizing commissioner Rob Manfred for suggesting the team pull a ridiculous stunt prior to Thursday night’s game. Van Wagenen walked back his comments to say that he wasn’t criticizing Manfred, but was instead talking about Jeff Wilpon.
