Early last week, New York Mets General Manager Brodie Van Wagenen made headlines with his comments regarding the team’s position within the National League East division. After the press conference to introduce the newest member of the Mets, Jed Lowrie, Van Wagenen told reporters that the rest of the division can “…come get us.”
This comment has been received in multiple ways by fans. Some believe it can be used as “bulletin board material” for other teams in the division, who will use it as added motivation, while others were fired up by the comment and believe it will serve as a catalyst for the Mets’ success in 2019.
