New York Mets general manager Brodie Van Wagenen may have accidentally leaked one of the team’s candidates for bench coach for any eagle-eyed Twitter users.
Van Wagenen tweeted out a seemingly innocuous image of new manager Carlos Beltran signing his contract. In the image, however, was some paperwork that had the name Jerry Narron printed on it, suggesting he was a candidate for the team’s bench coach position.

Adding fuel to the fire, Van Wagenen deleted the tweet — but reposted it with that portion of the image cropped out.

Be careful what you tweet, folks. And don’t expect Mike Francesa to be happy about it, either. It’s a minor thing, but it’s just another headache Van Wagenen didn’t want.
