A third straight offseason of upheaval in the management ranks is still a strong possibility for the Mets, but no change in manager Mickey Callaway’s status had occurred following Tuesday’s discussions among club officials.

Callaway remained in limbo, two days after concluding an 86-76 season that left the Mets short of a postseason berth. There was thought earlier in the week Callaway’s status would be resolved by Wednesday, but sources have indicated it’s also possible the situation won’t be resolved until later in the week.

If Callaway is dismissed, the Mets will spend a third straight October with a “help wanted” sign hanging outside Citi Field.

Terry Collins resigned as manager following the 2017 season, beginning a managerial search that culminated with Callaway’s hiring just before the World Series.

And last year, the Mets spent October searching for general manager Sandy Alderson’s replacement, after the trifecta of John Ricco, J.P. Ricciardi and Omar Minaya had headed the front office in the season’s second half; Alderson stepped aside in June citing his health. That search ended with the hiring of former CAA agent Brodie Van Wagenen as GM.

Now it’s Van Wagenen who must finalize whether Callaway, whose contract runs through 2020, is the right person to guide the Mets next season.

The Cubs, Giants, Padres, Pirates, Royals and Angels already have managerial vacancies, but the Mets don’t risk falling too far behind the others — should they decide on replacing Callaway — unless the decision lingers into next week, when teams figure to begin interviewing candidates.

Marquee names available include Joe Girardi, Buck Showalter and Joe Maddon. Maddon, the former Cubs manager, has been linked heavily to the Angels, for whom he began his major league coaching career in the 1990s. Girardi and Showalter both have strong New York ties from managing the Yankees.

Many in the industry would be surprised if Callaway returns, but such a scenario can’t be completely discounted given that team owners Fred and Jeff Wilpon have been loathe in recent years to pay two managers at once. Callaway’s tendency toward collaboration with the front office — carrying out orders from Van Wagenen and his staff — also works in his favor. Hiring a new manager, especially of the superstar ilk, would bring less predictability as to whether orders would be carried out, increasing the probability of blowups.

Should Callaway be jettisoned, he would become the first manager in Mets history fired after posting a winning record in that full season. Jerry Manuel, who was fired with 79 wins after the 2010 season, is currently the closest to that mark.

Other than Callaway, the team’s coaching staff remains in limbo. All have expiring contracts, and many of their fates could be tied to Callaway’s. But hitting coach Chili Davis seems like a safe bet to receive an invitation back, regardless, given the Mets’ offensive improvement this season. The team’s quality control coach, Luis Rojas, could be a candidate for the manager’s job if Callaway isn’t retained.
