Mets Fire Manager Carlos Mendoza
The New York Mets have decided to fire manager Carlos Mendoza on Friday morning. This comes on the heels of a four-game sweep at home by the Chicago Cubs. After Thursday's loss, the Mets dropped to 34-47 and are 15.0 games behind the first-place Atlanta Braves in the National League East. Mendoza won nearly 90 games during his first year with the Mets, but wasn't able to replicate the same success. The Mets missed the playoffs after some disastrous play down the stretch last season. Mendoza was given the benefit of the doubt, but the team needed to make a move at some point. Andy Green has been appointed as the interim manager. Green spent four years as the San Diego Padres manager from 2016-2019. He probably can't save the Mets' season, but ultimately, the team needed to make a change in the dugout.
