Mets fire manager Carlos Mendoza, name Andy Green interim replacement
Summary

Carlos Mendoza was dismissed as manager of the New York Mets on June 26, 2026, due to the team's poor performance. The Mets sit at 34-47 after a six-game losing streak, placing them 15 games behind the NL East-leading Atlanta Braves. Injuries to key players, including Francisco Lindor and Marcus Semien, have contributed to their struggles, despite holding the highest payroll in MLB. Andy Green, the Mets' senior vice president of player development, will take over on an interim basis as the team prepares for the August 3 trade deadline. Mets president David Stearns cited the need for change to address the disappointing season as a key reason for Mendoza's departure.
