New York Mets Part Ways with Mendoza as Midseason Slump Continues
The New York Mets fired manager Carlos Mendoza at the 81-game halfway point (34-47), naming Andy Green as interim manager for the rest of 2026 after a season defined by a poor start and mounting struggles. The decision follows a franchise-worst slide since mid-2025, a 12-game April losing streak, and a tough loss to the Cubs that precipitated the move. With a high payroll and a roster overhaul now under scrutiny, the Mets may look to shake up the roster ahead of the trade deadline as they search for a path back to competitiveness.
