Mets Fire Mendoza, Andy Green Named Interim Manager

The Mets fired manager Carlos Mendoza after a 34-47 start in 2026, with former Padres skipper Andy Green named interim manager. Mendoza had previously guided the club to an 89-73 record and an NLCS berth in 2024, but a disastrous 2025 collapse and this season’s slide—despite a top payroll—have them buried in the NL East and far from a Wild Card. GM David Stearns said the change is necessary to move forward and that it isn’t framed as a pure managerial problem.

Braves ride NL East gauntlet to a 2-1 weekend vs Phillies

Atlanta went 2-1 in the weekend set with Philadelphia, taking the rubber game on Sunday behind Chris Sale while getting timely offense in the other two games. The stretch adds to the Braves’ strong NL East showing this year, giving them five wins in six meetings with Philly, pushing them to 20 wins on the season and solidifying a comfortable division lead as they head into a week against Detroit and Colorado.

Wentz’s Potential Downtime Clouds Braves’ Spring Depth, Fulton and Miller Update NL East

Joey Wentz left a spring game with a possible right-leg injury, but early tests suggest it isn’t serious; if he’s sidelined, Bryce Elder or Martin Perez could grab the Braves’ fifth starter slot as rotation depth is tested after elbow surgeries for Schwellenbach and Waldrep. Dax Fulton was optioned to the Marlins’ minor league camp but could be recalled later as a bullpen option, while Phillies top prospect Aidan Miller is sidelined by a lower-back issue and likely to start the season in Triple-A, with a 2026 MLB debut still anticipated.

Mets add Peralta, spark a win-now push in the NL East

New York Mets acquire Freddy Peralta from Milwaukee, giving them a true ace to fuel a win-now push while keeping enough depth to flip pieces like David Peterson for other needs. The trade is framed as a net Mets win, with the Cubs gaining by Milwaukee’s NL Central drop and the Phillies likely losing ground; Brewers fans lament losing an All-Star as they pursue a long-term rebuild.

"Philadelphia Phillies' Offseason Priorities: Coaching Changes, Nola's Future, and Free Agent Departures"

The Philadelphia Phillies prioritize re-signing All-Star pitcher Aaron Nola, who is set to hit free agency, while also expressing a vague desire to extend Zack Wheeler. However, if a deal with Nola cannot be reached, the Phillies will explore other options in the free-agent market. In other NL East news, former New York Mets general manager Billy Eppler would have been fired had he not resigned, and the ongoing investigation into his misuse of the injured list and injury rehab assignments is unlikely to conclude before the World Series. Mets coaches are reportedly available for hire as the team is expected to bring in a new manager, with pitching coach Jeremy Hefner already drawing interest from other clubs. Additionally, the Phillies will not bring back bullpen coach Dave Lundquist and assistant hitting coach Jason Camilli for the 2024 season.

"Braves vs. Phillies: Max Fried leads return home for crucial matchup"

After a disappointing weekend against the Marlins, the Atlanta Braves are looking to bounce back in a three-game series against the Philadelphia Phillies. The Braves currently hold a 4 1/2 game lead over the Dodgers for the best record in the National League and a three-game lead over Baltimore for the best record in the MLB. Max Fried will not start against the Phillies due to a potential injury issue but should be ready for the Nationals. Ronald Acuna Jr.'s return to the lineup is a key storyline. In other MLB news, Baltimore and the Rays secured playoff berths, the Blue Jays moved into the second wild card spot in the AL, and the Diamondbacks secured the second spot in the NL Wild Card race.
