Brodie Van Wagenen isn’t bashful about soliciting opinions from players in decisions affecting the Mets’ clubhouse, and among those voices, one might carry the most weight.

Robinson Cano is officially the team’s second baseman, but, according to people familiar with the dynamic, he’s also on some level a consultant to the general manager whose views are considered when something as important as a managerial search arises. And for the second time this offseason, the Mets are searching for a manager.

Van Wagenen was Cano’s agent with CAA before leaving the firm to become Mets general manager in October 2018. A month later, Van Wagenen orchestrated a deal that brought Cano and Edwin Diaz to the Mets in a trade with the Mariners.

“Speaking to Cano, he spoke very highly of Brodie,” Dellin Betances said earlier this month after signing with the Mets. “He felt like ever since [Van Wagenen] came in, he’s tried to bring the right group of guys in.”

Cano’s influence with the GM certainly didn’t hurt Carlos Beltran’s chances of becoming Mets manager after Mickey Callaway was fired in October. Cano and Beltran had become friends over the years and shared a mutual respect of each other.

But Cano also holds a strong admiration for quality control coach Luis Rojas, and a team insider says that may have played a significant role in Rojas’ candidacy in the last managerial search and again now.

Rojas, 38, spent eight seasons managing in the Mets’ minor league system, rising as far as Double-A Binghamton before getting promoted to the major league staff last offseason. As quality control coach, his primary duty is to serve as a liaison between the front office and dugout in implementing analytics.

The question is whether Rojas — whose father Felipe Alou managed the Expos and Giants and brother Moises Alou (who played for the Mets in 2007-08 and now serves as a special assistant with the Padres) — is ready for such a leap.

Other potential candidates for the opening include Dusty Baker, Eduardo Perez, Tim Bogar, Hensley Meulens and Tony DeFrancesco.

Beltran and the Mets parted ways last week after MLB concluded an investigation in which it was determined the Astros stole signs in 2017 using electronic surveillance. Beltran was the only player from that team named in the report, and manager A.J. Hinch and general manager Jeff Luhnow were each suspended for one year by commissioner Rob Manfred before Astros owner Jim Crane fired them both. A day later, Alex Cora — the Astros’ bench coach in that season — was fired by the Red Sox.

Rojas received multiple interviews for the job when Beltran was hired, but never advanced to the finalist round, which included the ESPN analyst Perez and Twins bench coach Derek Shelton, who has since been hired as Pirates manager.

If the Mets choose Rojas it’s likely he will lean heavily on Meulens, who previously served as Giants bench coach under Bruce Bochy.

The Post reported Friday that the 70-year-old Baker has been discussed as an option who would bring a sense of stability to the organization following Beltran’s sudden departure. Baker wasn’t seriously considered by the Mets in October, but is a known quantity, with only three weeks remaining before pitchers and catchers report to Port St. Lucie for spring training.
