Mets General Manager Brodie Van Wagenen appeared to be caught on video Thursday criticizing MLB commissioner Rob Manfred.

Manfred suggested a potential MLB-pitched plan for the Mets and Marlins to show their support for the ongoing social justice movement while also playing games as scheduled.

In the video that surfaced on Thursday, Van Wagenen is heard saying, “Baseball's trying to come up with a solution to say, you know what would be super powerful—three of us here, can't leave this room—you know what would be really great, if you just have 'em all take the field and leave the field and then they come back and play at 8:10," Van Wagenen went on to say "And I was like, What? He just doesn't get it,"

The GM later apologized on Thursday saying he had misunderstood that the idea came from Manfred. His statement entailed, "My frustration with the Commissioner was wrong and unfounded, "I apologize to the Commissioner for my disrespectful comments and poor judgment in inaccurately describing the contents of his private conversation with Jeff Wilpon.”
