Breaking: Peterson Fired

by Will Carroll

Sources tell me that Rick Peterson has been fired as pitching coach of the New York Mets. As yet, this cannot be confirmed, though reports this weekend have been leaning this way. We’ll know more shortly.

UPDATE: The sources were both incorrect. My apologies for the error. I consistently got “no comments” from Mets sources and do believe that Peterson remains in jeopardy. However, that decision has not yet been made … or made public.

UPDATE 2: The sources were NOT incorrect. Rick Peterson was fired, along with Willie Randolph, after the game. Sources independent of my original sources tell me that the decision was made prior to the game, but that Randolph was not informed until after the game. See, it’s confusing doing this job!
