At the end of August, New York Mets President of Baseball Operations David Stearns suggested that manager Carlos Mendoza would keep his job, although his club had perhaps become the largest MLB-related disappointment of the summer.
After the Mets were eliminated from the late season through the 4-0 loss of Sunday in the Miami Marlins, MLB Insider Andy Martino offered an update about the status of Mendoza.
Will Mets Clean House collapse after 2025?
“According to sources with direct knowledge, the Mets have no plans to dismiss Carlos Mendoza,” Martino shared. “A change would require a series of events that were not in motion at all when the Mets finished their collapse on Sunday evening. However, you have to expect remarkable and perhaps widespread changes to the coaching staff. This feels like the biggest news to look at the immediate aftermath.”
Mendoza was a first-year skipper when the Mets 22-33 were on May 29, 2024, but then emerged as a Manager of the Year Award Candidate while he led the club to a surprising trip to the National League Championship Series. The METS then seemed to be World Series Kansborners when they finished on June 12 of this year with a record of 45-24. From there, things consistently went from bad to worse in front of Mendoza.
Per Statmuse, The Mets went a sad 38-55 from 13 June to Sunday. When ESPN’s Jorge Castillo MENDED, Mendoza cannot be accused of the fact that Stearns has collected a schedule that is responsible for a “rotation that could not pitch enough in the games, an overworked bull pen and astonishing offensive inconsistency” during the last three and a half months of the campaign.
That said, Abbey Mastrco of the New York Daily News noted that the 2025 Mets 0-70 went When finding out the eighth inning of games. Such a lack of fight can cause some to believe that the team could possibly use a different voice in the clubhouse.
Carlos Mendoza has the collapse of the Mets
“I take responsibility,” said Mendoza after the loss of Sunday, per Garrett Stepien from Sny. “I am the manager. It starts with me and I have to take a long look here – how to get better. That was also a message for the entire team. This is unacceptable.”
Mendoza can stay in place, but it seems that the Mets may have to find a long -term replacement for first basey Pete Alonso. Alonso confirmed on Sunday that he intends to unsubscribe from his contract, and Star Closer Edwin Diaz could do the same.
“Since day 1, when you sit in this chair, you are on the hot chair – as simple as that,” Mendoza added. “When you manage a team that has many expectations and you go home, such questions will come to the fore and that is part of it. That is it. I am responsible, and I have to be better – as simple as that.”
It sounds like Mendoza gets the chance to be ‘better’ next spring after his players have abandoned him this year.
