The Mets will not be bringing Jerry Manual back as manager for the 2011 season and while Wally Backman is the frontrunner for the job, Joe Torre is also a possibility, according to a source.

"The Mets are certainly an inviting situation because they have a lot better personnel than their record shows," the person close to Torre said. "The injuries have hurt them."

Torre began his career as a manager with the Mets in 1977 as a player/manager.

"Money shouldn't be a factor for the Mets if they really want [Torre]," the person close to Torre said. "You look at what their attendance figures are, and I'm sure Joe would build some excitement among the fans, which is definitely needed there."
