Not sure any of this makes me like Wags any more than I already don’t.
Six months after Yoenis Cespedes’ surgery to repair his ankle fractures, Brodie Van Wagenen said it is still “too early to tell” his status for 2020.
Asked how often he talks to Cespedes, Van Wagenen said, “I’m not going to get into specifics of our communication with Ces.”

Oh please dude. Either you’re being a jerk or I suspect you actually forgot Cespedes is on the team and you haven’t thought to check in with him. Why can’t you answer that question? You forgot, didn’t you?
Asked at the GM Meetings about the Mets’ appetite to go over MLB’s $208 million luxury tax threshold, Brodie Van Wagenen said he’ll have that conversation with ownership only if his player acquisition strategy requires it. Van Wagenen declined further comment on payroll issues.

Because why would we talk about that in advance? What’s our budget? I dunno is a bad answer.
