NEW YORK (AP) — The New York Mets are braced for a shakeup.

Manager Jerry Manuel and general manager Omar Minaya both said Friday they have not been notified they are losing their jobs.

Sports Illustrated, citing unidentified sources, reported on its website earlier in the day that the team will announce after the season that the pair won’t return in their roles.

“Nothing has been told to me other than, just like every year, you discuss it at the end of the year,” Manuel said.

With the team finishing its second straight losing season this weekend after two late collapses, change appears likely.

“There’s going to be fingers pointed, and obviously that’s where we’re at now,” David Wright said.
