Met co-owner Fred Wilpon doesn’t think Valentine will quit after the season and doesn’t take too seriously a report that his manager believes five of his players “basically are losers.”

“I don’t know what to make of it, frankly,” Wilpon said of the story in last week’s Sports Illustrated.

The magazine reported that Valentine’s wife, Mary, wants him to resign after the season. Wilpon gave the manager a vote of confidence during a seven-game losing streak in late September.

“There is no question in my mind that he will manage the team next year,” Wilpon said. “I’ve talked to [co-owner] Nelson Doubleday about it. We want him back.”
