Zack Scott, former Mets GM, is now an agent â not to players, but to coaches and executives. Your favorite team's manager might well have an agent, even if quietly.

In the trade market, Mets lefty starter David Peterson is generating some interest, league sources said. In theory, could be "need-for-need" kind of candidate. But asking price believed to be high.
