Report: Brodie Van Wagenen Likely Casualty of Mets Sale
According to Joe Pantorno of AMNY (he has been all over the Mets sale news), Steve Cohen is expected to “clean house” when he officially becomes the Mets majority owner.
Of course, that would start with GM Brodie Van Wagenen. The Mets are a miracle finish away from missing the playoffs in both seasons with him at the helm.
The former agent has seen most of his big free agent signings crash – Dellin Betances, Rick Porcello, Jeurys Familia, Michael Wacha, Jed Lowrie – and has also traded away prospects Jarred Kelenic, Justin Dunn, Anthony Kay, Simeon Woods Richardson, and Blake Taylor.
Recent reports have suggested former GM Sandy Alderson could return to the organization, though a source told me if it happened it would be in an advisory/consultant type role – much like his current situation in Oakland. He’s not looking to expand his role.
