Mets Fire Mendoza, Hire Green

The Mets pulled the trigger, firing manager Carlos Mendoza after a brutal season that saw them fall 15 games behind first place — despite having the highest payroll in baseball. Owner Steve Cohen made it clear fans deserve better. Mendoza, who took over from Buck Showalter, had a solid track record but couldn’t ignite this roster this year. David Stearns admitted the move was necessary, even praising Mendoza’s contributions. Enter Andy Green, a familiar face from the Mets’ front office and former Padres manager, tasked with turning things around. With playoff hopes fading and pressure mounting, all eyes are on Green to deliver the spark this team desperately needs. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
