(AP) -- Cleveland general manager Mark Shapiro says Indians manager Eric Wedge's job is safe for the rest of the season.

The Indians, expected to contend in the AL Central division, are 33-49, the worst record in the league.

Shapiro says this season's disappointments are the fault of players, the manager, coaches and the front office.

Wedge, in his seventh season as Indians manager, is signed through 2010. The Indians are 529-525 under Wedge. They won the AL Central in 2007 and came within a game of reaching the World Series and Wedge won AL Manager of the Year.

Shapiro also says that Wedge's coaching staff will remain intact for the remainder of the season.
