Jerry Manuel will be the Mets manager in 2009

The Mets and Jerry Manuel have agreed to a two-year deal, bringing the former interim manager back for the long haul.

According to Jon Heyman, the contract also includes a club option for a third year.

The numbers were leaked before at being a two-year deal worth $1.5 million, so I assume it's very close to that.

Welcome back, Gangsta. Here's to two (or three) more years of Gangsta in the clubhouse.

I guess this means I should learn how to say his name correctly.
