The Mets held a postseason news conference Wednesday that, for the first time in years, was celebratory in nature. Manager Terry Collins wore a teal dress shirt and black slacks and a satisfied expression. Sitting next to him, General Manager Sandy Alderson announced that the Mets had agreed to give Collins a two-year contract extension, a reward for leading the team to its first pennant in 15 years.
The two men talked about the Mets’ unexpected World Series run, the sting of losing in five games to Kansas City and the raised expectations for 2016.
