Mets, Terry Collins Agree To Extension

By Steve Adams | November 4, 2015 at 10:07am CDT

TODAY: The team has announced the deal, making it official.

YESTERDAY, 6:37pm: Collins’ will earn roughly $3MM over the life of the contract, reports Jon Heyman of CBS Sports (Twitter link).

3:42pm: The Mets have agreed to a two-year contract extension with manager Terry Collins, reports Kristie Ackert of the New York Daily News. Collins’ new contract, which provides the skipper with a raise, will be formally announced tomorrow, Ackert adds. Collins’ previous contract expired at the end of the 2015 season, but he’ll now have job security through the 2017 season. Collins reportedly doesn’t want to manage too much longer but was said to be open to continuing for at least the next two seasons.

The 66-year-old Collins is an oft-mentioned NL Manager of the Year candidate after leading the Mets to a surprising 90-win season and World Series run. He’s been managing the Mets since the 2011 campaign, though the 2015 season marked his first winning campaign. Collins dealt with a number of injuries early in the season plus questions as to when top prospects Noah Syndergaard, Steven Matz and Michael Conforto would be promoted, and he was also tasked with keeping the club focused during the Matt Harvey innings limit saga late in the season.

Collins has a lifetime managerial record of 838-850 and has seen time at the helm with both the Astros and Angels, though the Mets represent his longest stint as a big-league manager. Collins’ job security has been called into security many times over the past few seasons, but New York’s unlikely World Series run and his handling of the pressures of managing in a major market have earned him additional time to attempt to finish what he started in 2015.

    good for him, consistency is paramount to continuing the drive to a World Series, players must feel comfort knowing he’ll be there for at least 2 more seasons

      I guess his “Grady Little” impression didn’t hurt his wallet.

    Not a surprise. Glad they didn’t hold a few questionable moves against him compared to an overall good season.

    Well deserved. Collins made the World Series. You can’t judge a manager with no talent. He has talent and he won.

    Where are all of the fans that were calling for his head at the start of the season? He was constantly given subpar teams and outperformed what most pundits predicted. TC is a solid manager and will hopefully bring a championship to the Mets faithful before he retires.

    Okay, but if he walks a guy, they need to bring in a new manager out of the pen immediately.

    Im not in the NY area anymore but I wonder how Mets fans view his 9th management Game 5.

      Typical Collins, like batting Matz in the 5th in game 4. Questionable handling of the staff/bullpen is expected.

    Thrilled as a Mets fan and a baseball fan. Love his heart and his candor.
