News: Minaya gets Four-Year Extension
By Matthew Cerrone - Sep 23, 2008 7:10 pm

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

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.”

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

    Omar is the Man! He deserves this and he is doing a fantastic job. He brought the Mets back to relevance. We need the stability for long-term success. Omar is perfect for the Mets!

    All you who disagree are idiots. You have no clue! I’m talking to the likes of furioso and Gippy. Get a freaking clue. Omar has energized this organization since the minute he got here. And will continue to give us a high-quality team.

    And don’t forget…Omar is making the Wilpons lots of money with his vision for this team. He has been very instrumental in the launch of the SNY network, marketing of this team, and most of all, selling tickets.

      Well now that this is done, heres hoping omar has learned
      a thing or five from his failures.1) los mets didnt work.
      2) players in their late 30s/early 40s sans ‘roids cant be
      counted on to produce at the same level as in their prime.
      3) If we really are “relevant” again,we dont need to bid against ourself for FAs.4) Let the MGR pick his own coaches and 5) Keep Tony B.out of the clubhouse

        Even the breaking of this story is typical of omar
        and the d.r.mafia,everyone knows(because it was leaked) yet it wont be “announced” until after the
        season. Even if thats on Monday.
