NEW YORK (AP) – General manager Sandy Alderson and the New York Mets have completed a contract extension that runs through 2017.
Mets chief operating officer Jeff Wilpon says the team has exercised Alderson’s option for next season and added two years to his deal. Wilpon says ownership is pleased with the job Alderson has done over the past four years, and he will have payroll flexibility to continue to improve the club through free agency or trades.
The move was announced Tuesday, and Alderson confirmed that manager Terry Collins will return next year. Collins is under contract through next season, with an option for 2016.
New York (76-80) needs to win five of its final six games to avoid a sixth consecutive losing season since moving into Citi Field.
