More Mets Coaches Out as Staff Shake-up Continues

On Friday, the New York Mets confirmed they are dismissing nearly their entire coaching staff shortly after Andy Martino’s report, reshaping the team for the 2026 season.
On June 12, 2025, the Mets were 45-24 before falling to a 38-55 run over the final 93 games after high expectations from Juan Soto's $765 million signing.
Bench coach John Gibbons resigned, pitching coach Jeremy Hefner and hitting coaches Jeremy Barnes and Eric Chavez will not return, catching instructor Glenn Sherlock retired, and third base coach Mike Sarbaugh is out.
Those departures mean the organization will enter the 2026 season with a completely revamped coaching staff after this year’s 83-79 disappointment.
David Stearns backed Mendoza and said the manager will return next year, adding the club has asked three staffers back for the 2026 season.
