It's looking more and more like Terry Collins won't return as manager of the New York Mets next season.

Jon Heyman wrote about Collins' future for FanRag Sports:

"No one's saying it, but people around the team all seem to be assuming there's almost no way he'll be back -- whether it be due to his choice or the team's," Heyman writes. "No one expected the Mets to be 55-70, and it may not be a positive sign that no one will say a word about Collins' situation, either on or off the record. It's also something Collins is thinking about too. When he agreed to the two-year deal after the 2015 World Series, he said at that time he wasn't sure he wanted to manage beyond 2017."

Collins, 68, is in his seventh season as manager of the Mets.
