The managerial decision Brodie Van Wagenen should make
If only Brodie Van Wagenen had exhibited the same patience and deliberation with his inherited players as he did with his inherited manager, the Mets would be entering 2020 in considerably better shape.
Conversely, if Van Wagenen had acted as decisively on the manager as he did on his roster, perhaps these guys would be getting ready for the playoffs right now.
Those observations aside, there existed a certain nobility in Van Wagenen and the Mets’ owners sticking with Mickey Callaway for the entirety of his second straight roller-coaster ride. With the Mets’ 2019 season nearly in the books, however, that calculus changes.
