Brodie Van Wagenen‘s days as general manager are numbered. With Sandy Alderson returning to the New York Mets as president of baseball operations, he’s going to want to bring in his own general manager. Billy Owens should be that guy.
Owens checks all the boxes that any team could want in a general manager. He’s a baseball lifer, a phenomenal scout, has worked under some of the best executives in the sport, is analytically inclined, and has a past working relationship with the president of baseball operations. He’s the perfect fit to take over the reins for the Mets in nearly every facet.
