Brodie Van Wagenen (born March 9, 1974) is an American sports executive and former agent. He is the general manager for the New York Mets of Major League Baseball. He previously worked at Creative Artists Agency (CAA) and served as a co-head of the baseball division at CAA Sports.

Background

Van Wagenen grew up in Southern California, where he attended Crespi Carmelite High School in Encino, California, before receiving a scholarship to Stanford University. He was the starting right fielder for the Stanford Cardinal baseball team in 1993 and 1994. He graduated with a bachelor's degree in communication in 1996.[1]

Career

Sports agent

At Creative Artists Agency (CAA), Van Wagenen was a Co-Head of CAA Sports' Baseball division.[2] Van Wagenen has been noted by Forbes,[3] and in March 2012, Sports Business Journal named Van Wagenen to its "40 Under 40" list of "the best young talent in sports business."[4]

For Yoenis Céspedes, Van Wagenen negotiated a three-year, $75 million contract with the New York Mets that included an opt-out after the first season (2016). The $25 million average annual value of the deal matched the highest average annual value ever for an outfielder.[5] Cespedes opted out of his contract after the 2016 season and in November 2016 re-signed for $110 million over four years, setting records for annual average value ($27.5 million) records for an outfielder and any Mets player in franchise history and the second-highest AAV ever for a non-pitcher. In sum, it guaranteed Cespedes $137.6 million over five years with the Mets.[6]

In December 2013, Van Wagenen negotiated a $240 million, 10-year contract for Robinson Canó with the Seattle Mariners.[7] The deal made Cano just the fifth player to sign a contract for $200 million or more with only Alex Rodriguez ever signing a contract worth more in guaranteed salary. Cano's contract more than doubled the previous record guarantee for a second baseman,[8] was the largest contract ever for a player who had not had a 35-homer season and was just the fifth 10-year contract of the past decade.[9]

In 2016, Van Wagenen became the baseball agent for former Heisman Trophy winner and NFL quarterback Tim Tebow as Tebow made the transition from football to baseball. Tebow signed with the Mets.[10] He also represented the Mets' Jacob deGrom.[11]

Front office career

In October 2018, Van Wagenen interviewed to replace Sandy Alderson as the New York Mets' General Manager.[12] On October 29, the Mets announced the hiring of Van Wagenen as their general manager.[13]

Personal life

Van Wagenen's wife, Molly, is also a graduate and former athlete at Stanford University. They have three children. Molly Van Wagenen's step-father was the late astronaut Neil Armstrong via his second wife.[14] Van Wagenen's father, Jeff Van Wagenen, played professional golf on the European Seniors Tour (1999–2008).[15] Van Wagenen served on the Board of Directors for Stanford University's Buck/Cardinal Club from 1998–2004. His wife, Molly, currently serves on the Board of Directors for the Stanford University Athletic Department.
