The New York Mets have dismissed manager Carlos Mendoza. The team announced the move on Friday and named Andy Green as interim manager for the remainder of the season.
At the time of the dismissal the Mets were 34-47 and had lost six straight games. Owner Steve Cohen said in a statement that the season has been a disappointment.
President of baseball operations David Stearns said the decision followed months of underperformance. He took responsibility for the team's record while praising Mendoza's leadership.
Shortstop Francisco Lindor said the players failed Mendoza. He noted that the decision was made to help the team moving forward.
Green previously managed the Padres and has served as the Mets' vice president of player development. He will lead the club through the rest of 2026 before a permanent search begins.
