WOOOOOO. Joel Sherman, citing sources, says that Omar Minaya will be relieved of his duties as soon as the season ends. Jeff Wilpon is currently searching for his replacement.

Hoping for Towers. Byrnes, Daniels, or Krivsky would be good too.

Whoever it is has gotta be somebody with an eye towards building for 2012. The 2010 payroll was $126 million. The 2011 payroll is already at $108 million and that doesn't include Reyes' $11 million option which will surely be picked up and big arbitration raises for Pagan, Pelfrey, and Dickey. So the 2011 Mets will in all likelihood match their payroll from this year without bringing anybody new in.

Hopefully the 2011 Mets can pull a Padres while planting the seeds for a good team in 2012. At least change should be forthcoming.
