Mets GM Brodie Van Wagenen Defends Mickey Callaway Despite Underwhelming Start

The Mets will not fire manager Mickey Callaway for the foreseeable future.

General manager Brodie Van Wagenen said that the Mets called a meeting today to clarify to coaches and players that he is in full support of Callaway.

"Mickey is our manager now, Mickey is our manager going forward," Van Wagenen told reporters. "And we are going to provide the same support we have for him throughout the offseason as we have to this point and we’ll continue that effort full steam ahead."

New York opened the year with increased expectations after naming former agent Van Wagenen its general manager this offseason.
