Brodie Van Wagenen

Brodie Van Wagenen, who left as co-head of the baseball division at CAA to make the rare transition to Major League Baseball general manager, has been let go by the team. The move came two years into his tenure and just hours after new owner Steve Cohen officially closed his deal to take over the team. Van Wagenen’s front office lieutenants, including special assistant to the GM Omar Minaya, assistant GMs Allard Baird and Adam Guttridge and player development direction Jared Banner, also were dismissed. Brodie Van Wagenen, co-head of Creative Artists Agency's baseball division, established his prominence in the sport management industry, following the execution of the some of the biggest contracts in sports history: Robinson Cano's 10 year $260 million deal and Ryan Zimmerman's 6 year $100 million deal. Van Wagenen also represents former NFL player Tim Tebow who is currently playing in the minor leagues.
