Van Wagenen insists he is not involved in sale discussions

NEW YORK — As his bosses gather upstairs to talk about selling the team, Mets general manager Brodie Van Wagenen maintains that his attention is far from the expected turnover in ownership. In fact, Van Wagenen says he is not involved in the Mets sale process at all.

“For me and for the baseball operations department, it continues to be business as usual,” he said. “I anticipate it remaining that way until there is, or if there is, a change.”

In between his packed schedule at Citi Field — and Van Wagenen said “I’m very confident I’ll be able to enjoy working in this job for a long time” — he finds moments to visit with the Wilpons on a daily basis.
