Former Mets general manager Brodie Van Wagenen is joining Jay-Z's Roc Nation Sports as the company's chief operating officer, Van Wagenen announced on Wednesday.
Van Wagenen worked with Roc Nation when he was the co-head of Creative Arts Agency's baseball division. Van Wagenen took the Mets job in October 2018 and left the agency.
"We believed in the vision Jay and [Juan Perez] had back in 2013," Van Wagenen told ESPN's Jeff Passan. "We've stayed in constant contact with them. It was a natural homecoming."
"Brodie's knowledge of the business is indisputable and unparalleled," Jay-Z said in a statement to ESPN.
