The New York Mets made all the speculation official today by signing Omar Minaya to a three-year contract extension, taking him through 2012. The contract also has club options for both the 2013 and 2014 seasons.
At the press conference Minaya said, “I'd like to thank ownership for this continued opportunity and their trust and confidence in me and our staff to achieve the results our organization and fans want. In failing to reach our goal of a championship, we're already are hard at work in evaluating every aspect of our club to improve it. We believe we are on the right track with a strong core of players on our major league club and our minor league player development efforts."
Adding to Minaya’s comments, Mets COO Jeff Wilpon said, "While we've made some progress, we still have a lot of work to do. Coming up a game short the last two seasons is incredibly frustrating and disappointing. The entire baseball operations staff is evaluating our shortcomings from top to bottom to see what we're missing so that we can get into the postseason in 2009. This contract extension reinforces our confidence in Omar's leadership in the short and longer term."
