Mets Fire Mendoza Amid Struggles

The Mets have fired manager Carlos Mendoza in a dramatic midseason pivot, signaling deep frustration after a catastrophic collapse from a once-proud franchise. With the team languishing far behind division leaders and struggling to even sniff a wild card, owner Steve Cohen has admitted fans deserve better — despite his massive investment. This isn’t the first major shakeup this year; key players and last year’s coaching staff were already gone. The team’s plummet from last year’s best record to a losing streak and massive scoring deficit has put immense pressure on GM David Stearns, who grew up a Mets fan and led them to a playoff run. Stearns takes responsibility, insists the foundation is being built, and hints at potential trades before the August deadline. Interim manager Andy Green will step in temporarily but will return to front-office duties after the season — setting the stage for a full-scale managerial search.
