NEW YORK (VINnews) – The New York Mets have parted ways with manager Carlos Mendoza, the team announced Friday.

The move comes after the Mets were swept in a four-game series by the Chicago Cubs at Citi Field earlier this week. At the 81-game mark, New York sits at 34-47, struggling through a disappointing campaign that included a 12-game losing streak in April.

Andy Green will serve as interim manager for the remainder of the 2026 season.

Mendoza, hired ahead of the 2024 season, guided the Mets to the playoffs in his first year, reaching the National League Championship Series before falling to the eventual World Series champion Los Angeles Dodgers. The 2025 season began promisingly with a 45-24 record but ended in a historic collapse, as the Mets went 38-55 the rest of the way and missed the postseason.

In two-and-a-half seasons, Mendoza compiled a 206-199 record. He is the first Mets manager fired in-season since Willie Randolph in 2008. The team has posted the fourth-worst record in baseball since mid-June 2025.
