The New York Mets have dismissed manager Carlos Mendoza as the team struggles in the National League East. The announcement came as the Mets sit at a disappointing 34-47, 15 games behind the division-leading Atlanta Braves.
Andy Green, a former manager of the San Diego Padres, will step in as the interim manager for the remainder of the 2026 season.
The Mets, who opened the season with the highest payroll in Major League Baseball, have not met expectations, prompting the change in leadership.
Mendoza’s tenure ends with a 206-199 record, and his departure marks the third managerial change in MLB this season, following similar moves by the Boston Red Sox and Philadelphia Phillies.
