In a report previous for Newsday, David Lennon wrote, “With Minaya’s five-year, $4-million contract set to expire after 2009, it’s a safe bet that he will be signed to an extension at the end of this season, and why not?”

This morning, in a report for the Daily News, citing ‘team insiders,’ Adam Rubin writes that Omar Minaya will be GM of the Mets through at least 2009, if not longer.

…the sense i get is that, as long as the Wilpons feel he did everything possible, as a general manager, to get this team in to the post-season, regardless of whether the team gets there or not, minaya be back next season

Rubin also reports on the future of Jerry Manuel, who is signed through the end of this season.
