We’ve signed to a four-year contract extension. They met near LAX for dinner, making McNeil the first Mets player that Eppler sat down with as the new GM. Eppler drove up from southern Orange County. So McNeil drove down from just north of Santa Barbara. But because Longo and Eppler already had shared history, the agent made a suggestion to the GM: “Why don’t you just go to dinner with Jeff and you two talk?” The original plan was for all three men to convene in Los Angeles. The two then ventured into planning mode, scrambling to figure out how Eppler could meet with McNeil before the work stoppage was set to begin in just a few weeks. “That would be really cool,” Longo replied. “I want to make the Mets the ‘Dirtbags’ of MLB.” “I love that he’s a Long Beach State Dirtbag,” Longo recalled Eppler saying. But the conversation soon shifted to McNeil, one of Longo’s clients at Paragon Sports International. So soon after Eppler was named GM of the Mets, Longo reached out to offer his congratulations. 226.The relationship between Longo and Eppler stretches back to the early 2000s when the latter worked in the Rockies’ scouting department.
