Rollins Benched For Not HustlingPhillies veteran shortstop Jimmy Rollins was benched after a pair of baserunning blunders Thursday in Philadelphia's 3-2 win over the New York Mets, according to an ESPN.com report.

Philadelphia Phillies, New York Mets, Game Recap Read the Full Story Discuss Send Feedback Buy Tickets Mets Won't Fire Terry Collins Despite 2nd Half SlideThe Mets have won just 13 of their 42 games since the All-Star break, but manager Terry Collins is not in danger in being replaced. The New York Post first reported that Collins, who is under contract for 2013 as well, will remain employed. The team was 46-40 at the break and in contention for a playoff berth.

Dickey both have club options in their contracts for next season and Mets general manager Sandy Alderson expects both players to be with the Mets for a long time. "I fully expect that David Wright and R.A. Dickey will be here not only next year, but long term," Alderson said. "As you all know, we have options on both those players and it's not our intention to simply rely on those options and go into next season and deal with their free agency after 2013. We're going to deal with it up front while we still have a little bit of room to maneuver. But we're committed to trying to bring those two back. I hope they'll both be back and I'm excited about the possibilities they will be." Wright is in the final guaranteed year of a six-year, $55 million deal. The third baseman doesn't want to discuss an extension until after the season. The question becomes whether the Mets can afford to re-sign both players. The team's payroll dropped about $50 million to $100 million overall this season. Retaining Wright and Dickey could become expensive.

While their view may have changed, the Mets were once committed to playing hard in September and re-signing Hairston. He could be a valuable right-handed bat off the bench for a contender.
