Mets Fire Mendoza, Schumaker Steps In | MLB News

The Mets have fired manager Carlos Mendoza after a brutal second half, with just 72 wins in 175 games since mid-June. Interim skipper Skip Schumaker, a former Padres manager now in the front office, will lead the team through the final 81 games — giving him a front-row seat to player evaluations that could shape next season’s roster. With a permanent hire looming, names like Albert Pujols and Carlos Beltran are in the mix. The team is also preparing for a trade deadline fire sale, moving David Peterson and possibly trading pitchers Freddy Peralta and Brooks Raley — while holding onto stars Juan Soto and Francisco Lindor. All this under David Stearns, who’s expected to stay on as baseball ops chief, possibly with a new GM to handle day-to-day decisions while he rebuilds the franchise from the ground up.
