The strength of a baseball franchise is rooted in it’s farm system and scouting department and the New York Mets are going through a transformation in both areas under general manager Brodie Van Wagenen and his assistant, Allard Baird.
They have added a new manager – Reid Brignac – at their Kingsport, Tennessee Rookie League affiliate and brought back their former scouting director Chad McDonald. Brignac replaces Rich Donnelly at Kingsport.
Two interesting hires for Mets, per sources:
Former scouting director Chad MacDonald is back as a pro scout. MacDonald ran 1 draft, in 2011, and personally chose Brandon Nimmo.
