Lloyd McClendon met with new Seattle Mariners general manager Jerry Dipoto for about two hours on Monday morning.

McClendon said the conversation was a "great" one, but his future with the team remains to be seen.

"I'm under contract to manage next year, and hopefully I'll manage the club," McClendon said. "So beyond that … if you're looking for security in this game, you're in the wrong business. That's me and every other manager."
