New York Mets manager Carlos Mendoza stated that his job security has not been discussed with team leadership despite the team's 9-19 start. This comes after Boston Red Sox manager Alex Cora was fired last weekend and Philadelphia Phillies skipper Rob Thomson was dismissed Tuesday morning. Mendoza emphasized continuing business as usual ahead of a series against the Washington Nationals.
Carlos Mendoza took notice of the recent firings of fellow managers Alex Cora and Rob Thomson but reported no changes in his own situation with the Mets. Speaking before Tuesday's game at Citi Field against the Nationals, Mendoza said discussions with president of baseball operations David Stearns and owner Steve Cohen have remained routine. Neither Stearns nor Cohen responded to inquiries about Mendoza's status, though Cohen had sent encouraging texts earlier in the month urging him to stay the course.
