Note: Omar Minaya Denied Contract Extension
According to Ken Rosenthal, at FOXSports.com, citing ‘major league sources,’ Mets GM Omar Minaya recently requested a contract extension, but his request was declined by the team.
…as it should be…look, i know people seem to feel i support everything omar does, which is not accurate…i am simply optimistic, 
and, by nature, i search for the silver lining and always look at the big picture…that’s who i am…so, if omar makes a move, i tend to bring those qualities to my criticism, which is mild-mannered at best…that being said, omar is entering the fourth season of his five-year deal, during which his team made the playoffs once, while squandering a seven-game lead last season…so, the clock is certainly ticking on both minaya and Willie Randolph, as it should be…
In the Daily News, Adam Rubin breaks down Minaya’s track record since joining the Mets roughly three years ago, during which, though he signed Pedro Martinez and Carlos Beltran, and traded for John Maine, Duaner Sanchez and Oliver Perez, he also sent away Heath Bell, Mike Cameron and Brian Bannister with very little to show for it.
…by the way, while the Mets media department is already in Nashville, minaya will arrive to the Winter Meetings with his staff later this morning…
