From the Mets press release:
The New York Mets today announced that Omar Minaya has been relieved of his duties as Executive Vice President of Baseball Operations & General Manager and they have declined to exercise the club’s option on Jerry Manuel’s contract as Manager for 2011.
A search is underway for a new General Manager who will run the team’s Baseball Operations department. Ownership will lead the process with assistance from Vice President, Assistant General Manager John Ricco who will in the interim direct the department. The new General Manager will work with Ownership to identify and hire a new Manager.
Big offseason ahead.

I kind of feel unfulfilled, although this is what the Mets need and was the right move, this was so hyped that these firings just didnt live up, I just dont have the sense of fulfillment I would have liked.
I guess that will come when a new manager and GM are hired, if they hire someone I like.
Please don’t keep Omar around in a reduced role. That will be severely undermining the new front office before it even gets here.
How can you promise someone autonomy yet stick him with the guy he’s replacing?
Want to play a fun game?
See how many members of the baseball/sports media conflate the terms “contract not renewed” and “Fired” as it relates to Jerry Manuel.
The state of journalism in this country is remarkable, in every wrong way imaginable.
I wish they’d let him go sooner (among other reasons) so that we could legitimately say he’d been fired.
