Seeming error in 2019 contract negotiation discussion
"During the 2018-19 offseason, the Mets hired Van Wagenen as their general manager. DeGrom and the Mets agreed to a $17 million salary for the 2019 season, the largest annual raise ever for an arbitration-eligible player. With Van Wagenen now negotiating for the Mets rather than deGrom, the two sides agreed to a five-year, $137.5 million contract extension […]" I'm not a baseball guy, but shouldn't that be rather than the previous general manager? (Which apparently was three people for part of 2018, not likely to be the people involved in his last negotiation, or Sandy Alderson if before that). According to the cites, deGrom was part of this negotiation, so this sentence has to be incorrect, but I'm not sure how to correct it. Akda5id (talk) 13:35, 25 June 2021 (UTC)
 * , I agree that this is worded oddly. It was an odd situation for a player agent to become a team's general manager, going from negotiating for his star client to having to sign the star client on the other end. I'll think about how to reword that. Any suggestions welcome. – Muboshgu (talk) 16:28, 25 June 2021 (UTC)
 * , Ahhh, I get it now. I completely misinterpreted that. Perhaps something like "During the 2018-19 offseason, the Mets hired deGrom's agent Van Wagenen as their general manager." And then "With new representation deGrom negotiated a five-year, $137.5 million contract extension […]" That at least clears up the confusion. But ideally would be good to flesh out the implied conflict of interest with an ex agent negotiating with a prior client on the other side of the table. If you can find some news sources discussing that, would be a good one liner and cite. Akda5id (talk) 16:49, 25 June 2021 (UTC)
 * , it definitely isn't written well, as your misunderstanding demonstrates. I like your suggestion. There are surely many articles that can fill in around the conflict of interest. – Muboshgu (talk) 17:56, 25 June 2021 (UTC)

Social Media / Twitter
External Links section mentions JdeGrom19 as being his Twitter account. This account isn't verified and has less than 500 followers, only posting twice in almost 2 years. As far as I know, I don't believe he has any public social media accounts, and it definitely isn't JdeGrom19. Metzaddict (talk) 20:16, 3 December 2022 (UTC)
