Robinson Cano could have influence on Mets manager search

Error 0:

Brodie Van Wagenen isn’t bashful about soliciting opinions from players in decisions affecting the Mets’ clubhouse, and among those voices, one might carry the most weight.

Robinson Cano is officially the team’s second baseman, but, according to people familiar with the dynamic, he’s also on some level a consultant to the general manager whose views are considered when something as important as a managerial search arises. And for the second time this offseason, the Mets are searching for a manager.

Van Wagenen was Cano’s agent with CAA before leaving the firm to become Mets general manager in October 2018.
