Mets Don't Intend to Fire Manager Carlos Mendoza
Despite one of the worst starts in New York Mets franchise history this year, president of baseball operations David Stearns told Anthony DiComo of MLB.com that "we don't intend to make a change" and fire manager Carlos Mendoza. The Mets have started 10-21, which is the third-worst start in franchise history through 31 games after the 1981 (8-22-1) and 1964 (9-22) teams. The blame is being spread across the organization, and early-season injuries to outfielder Juan Soto (calf), shortstop Francisco Lindor (calf), and infielder Jorge Polanco (wrist, Achilles) have not helped. The Mets' offense continues to rank near the bottom of the league in many statistical categories, including 29th in runs scored. Mendoza will be given a chance to make one of the more dramatic turnarounds in baseball history. No MLB team has ever lost 12 straight games in a season and made the playoffs. The 46-year-old Mendoza is in the final guaranteed season of his three-year contract that he signed before the 2024 campaign.
