The Mets have announced that they will indeed replace Mets GM Omar Minaya and manager Jerry Manuel, according to SI.com. Manuel will likely leave the organization for another coaching gig, but Minaya is expected to stay within the organization.
The Mets need a new voice and someone who is going to help shape this franchise. A GM hiring is expected in the first few weeks following the season, but a managerial hiring may be a lengthy endeavor as nearly a dozen teams will be in the market for a manager.
