The contract will also reportedly include a pay raise for Collins, 66, but it wasn't clear how much.
Terry Collins is getting a lot of attention from fellow New York coaches these days.
File this under "it seemed like a good idea at the time."
It was an exhilarating run with an empty feeling at the finish line. For a team that lost the World Series in five games, the New York Mets came tantalizingly close to winning.
Former Met and current SNY and TBS analyst Ron Darling joined WFAN host Mike Francesa on Monday afternoon, and he said that he would have gone straight to Familia for the ninth.
Cespedes struggled in the postseason. He made some blunders in the field and on the bases, and batted just .222 with two homers and 17 strikeouts in 54 at-bats.
Some fans now wonder if Harvey gave too much by returning to the mound in the ninth after tossing eight scoreless innings.
It was a perfect microcosm. Of the men and the Mets.
The New York Mets came up short in their quest for their first World Series championship since 1986, as the Kansas City Royals won the Fall Classic for the first time since 1985, four games to one.
There is no sugar-coating the fact that the end of the Mets' season early Monday morning came during an animated dugout conversation between Matt Harvey and Terry Collins.
Matt Harvey demanded the ball in the ninth inning of the Mets' biggest game in years, the biggest start of his career. He got it. And once again in the World Series, Harvey did not get the result he hoped for.
Terry Collins knew what he wanted to do. And he didn't do it.
Hosmer's alert sprint home from third base on a grounder finished off a two-run burst in the ninth against Matt Harvey and closer Jeurys Familia.
Through eight innings on Sunday, the Mets appeared destined to send the World Series back to Kansas City for Game 6. Then everything fell apart.
After being attended to by trainers, Cespedes stayed in the game, but popped out weakly to short two pitches later and was visibly hobbling as he ran down the first base line.
