Confirming what has long been reported as a likelihood, including here on FanHouse, general manager Omar Minaya and manager Jerry Manuel will not return to their current roles with the New York Mets in 2011, according to a report by SI.com.The move hardly comes as a surprise with attendance at two-year-old Citi Field sagging and the team, at 77-82, now certain to record its second consecutive losing season, which have come just after two September collapses in 2007 and 2008.
Minaya, who took over the GM job before the 2005 season and agreed to a contract extension in 2008, is signed through the 2012 season and makes about $1 million annually. Though he will not return as general manager, Minaya could consider another role within the Mets organization, and, as SI.com points out, his greatest strength is in scouting.
Manuel replaced Willie Randolph as interim manager in June 2008 and had that tag removed at the end of that season. The Mets have a team option on him for 2011, which of course they will not pick up if he is ousted as manager.
