The struggling New York Mets have come under fire recently, but for the moment, their issues are not going to cost manager Terry Collins his job.
General manager Sandy Alderson gave a rather evasive statement Thursday in which he gave Collins something of a vote of confidence.
“Do I ever make any statement unequivocally?” Alderson said, via ESPN’s Adam Rubin. “There are no present plans to make any changes.”
Alderson had to deal with a heckler calling for former Padres manager Bud Black, and he understands the criticism.
“We all have an expectation of winning,” Alderson said. “None of us uses injuries as an excuse. That’s true inside the organization. That’s true for our fans, as well. That’s why I understand the frustration.”
Collins isn’t happy about how things are going either, as evidenced by this recent press conference. If it’s any consolation, his job doesn’t seem to be in peril.
