Alex Cora Is Available: Is Mets’ Firing of Carlos Mendoza Imminent?
The Mets have scored 92 runs, worst in Major League Baseball, as a doubleheader sweep added pressure on manager Carlos Mendoza.
- Following a doubleheader sweep by the Colorado Rockies on Sunday, New York Mets manager Carlos Mendoza faces mounting questions about his job security as the team fell to 9-19, stumbling 10 games under.500 before the end of April.
- The Mets' offense ranks last in Major League Baseball, averaging 3.21 runs per game with a.625 OPS, despite a $371 million payroll that demands better performance.
- "It's hard to explain when you have that many guys that are going through it at the same time," Mendoza said as the team collected only 10 total hits and left 13 runners on base during Sunday's doubleheader.
- Immediately following the sweep, the team designated outfielder Tommy Pham for assignment, a move coinciding with Boston Red Sox manager Alex Cora's firing on Saturday night that intensified managerial scrutiny across baseball.
- President of baseball operations David Stearns is evaluating the team during the nine-game homestand; with Monday's off day approaching, observers speculate whether he will make coaching changes to reverse the collapse.
