PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. _ Brodie Van Wagenen, the agent, wanted Jacob deGrom re-signed by the Mets or traded somewhere else months ago. He told us precisely that in D.C. the day before his client was scheduled to pitch in the All-Star Game at Nationals Park.
In other words, the Mets were behaving negligently in their handling of deGrom, then his client, by procrastinating with their ace's future, to the detriment of both the team and the pitcher.
So what's Van Wagenen's excuse for doing so now?
