The New York Mets were having a discussion about whether or not to play Thursday night. They seemed to make the decision to postpone the game, as long as the Miami Marlins agreed. MLB and commissioner Rob Manfred weren’t having any of that.
A video of Brodie Van Wagenen and a MLB representative discussing alternate solutions leaked and it’s not a good look for MLB.
MLB wanted the Mets to make a symbolic display by leaving the field for an hour before coming back to play rather than postponing the game. Van Wagenen wasn’t having it.
