ATLANTA — Rob Manfred won’t boycott the Mets’ new general manager.
The baseball commissioner divulged Thursday, at the conclusion of Major League Baseball’s owners meeting, that he has spoken with Brodie Van Wagenen since the Mets hired him to run their baseball operations and the two men made their peace over Van Wagenen’s inflammatory comments earlier this year when he still worked as a player representative for CAA.
“Brodie called me right after he accepted the job,” Manfred said during a news conference.
