Carlos Mendoza Replacements: Five Possible Candidates for Next Mets Manager, From Alex Cora to Carlos Beltran
Andy Green takes over as the Mets look to halt a six-game losing streak after a 34-47 start and $365 million in wasted payroll, the team said.
- The Mets fired manager Carlos Mendoza on Friday morning, appointing Andy Green as interim manager for the remainder of the 2026 season.
- A five-game losing streak where the Mets allowed 50 runs, capped by a doubleheader sweep against the Cubs on Wednesday with 20 runs and six errors, preceded the firing.
- Since June 12 of last year, the Mets are 72-102, despite owner Steve Cohen authorizing a $380 million payroll, the second highest in baseball.
- Mets president of baseball operations David Stearns now faces intense scrutiny regarding roster construction, as questions previously directed at Mendoza shift to him.
- In Year 6 of Cohen's ownership, the club risks becoming the "Worst Team Money Could Buy," a label previously held by the 1992 Mets, as it plummets toward a 94-loss season.
