News: Minaya gets Four-Year Extension
According to Buster Olney at ESPN.com, the Mets have given Mets GM Omar Minaya a four-year contract extension.
Olney adds, “The deal is all but done, but it is not known when the extension will be formally announced.”
…wow…umm, nothing against minaya, but i would have waited until after this season, to see how it ends, before committing to any one element of this team…
…i had hoped to wait until the end of the season to get in to evaluations…however, if the Mets are unable to make the post-season, this team is going to suffer a serious reaction from a fanbase that i sense is ready to boil over…this is not to say i would not have eventually come to the conclusion that he should return, it’s just, to me, it may have been more wise to wait and see how best to react to the reaction, so to speak…
…Update…8:00 pm…
From what I can gather, neither the team nor Minaya’s agent will confirm or deny the report.
According to Jon Heyman at SI.com, “An official announcement is not expected until after the season.”
…Update…8:24 pm…
…pardon the media commentary by the way, but, if a blog is looking to get credit for ‘breaking this story,’ whether a mainstream or independent source, you need to first add time-stamps to your posts…otherwise, it is impossible to tell what broke when and by whom…just a suggestion…
