Brodie Van Wagenen negotiated the contract he probably most wishes did not exist today.
Since these are the Mets take that as irony or comedy or tragedy — or all of the above.
Van Wagenen, while still working at CAA, represented his college roommate in extension talks that in August of 2018 produced a four-year, $12 million extension. That would be for Houston manager A.J. Hinch.
Now, that the Mets are officially looking for a new manager after firing Mickey Callaway on Thursday would anyone fit Van Wagenen’s visions of the job like his one-time Stanford teammate?
