Brodie Van Wagenen hasn’t been fired yet, but that’s not slowing down the rumor mill. Steve Cohen and Sandy Alderson are on the hunt for the New York Mets‘ next general manager and one name stands above the rest — Billy Owens.
In a recent update, Andy Martino of SNY reports that Owens is a “particularly strong candidate” to replace Van Wagenen. Here at ESNY, we believe that Owens is easily the best choice for the job.
Owens is the Oakland Athletics assistant general manager and director of player personnel.
