NEW YORK (CBSNewYork/AP) — Terry Collins has a new contract to keep managing the New York Mets. He can only hope for a second chance in the World Series.
Three days after their rousing season ended with a stinging loss to Kansas City, the Mets rewarded Collins on Wednesday for piloting them to the National League pennant.
The Mets held a club option on Collins for 2016, but instead gave him a two-year deal through 2017. The oldest manager in the majors at 66, he has a 394-416 regular-season record in five years with New York.
