Brodie Van Wagenen is the general manager of the New York Mets and has a lot of work to do winter. Finding some pen arms would be a start. Replacing Zack Wheeler in the rotation would be nice. What about buying a pair of sweatpants? WHAT? Just when you thought you couldn’t trust Brodie less, this bombshell comes out.
Van Wagenen is a sharp looking guy. Still, the guy doesn’t own ONE pair of sweatpants. There are two ways to look at this. One, Van Wagenen is a grinder that he doesn’t have time for sweatpants. It’s dress pants and getting shit done. Two, Van Wagenen is a psycho that has never enjoyed a lazy Sunday in his life. I want to know your take on it because the first option feels like the more accurate description.
That kind of stress can do wonders to the brain. No one can explain what went through his mind when he gave up prospects to eat the Robinson Cano contract. In the history of baseball, that trade will never make sense. It could be traced to Brodie Van Wagenen never owning a pair of sweatpants.
I can just imagine how Met fans are handling this news. Only this kind of thing happens to the Mets. This is just another tragic event in the long history of the Mets. Honestly, if you’re New York, you might have to fire Van Wagenen. The slack of sweatpants may be a line that you can’t cross. It’s your move Jeff Wilpon / Steve Cohen.
