The New York Mets remove the interim tag from Andy Green and name him full-time manager on a three-year contract. Multiple outlets report the team makes the decision after Green has served as interim manager since taking over mid-season.
Green initially took the role following the firing of Carlos Mendoza earlier in 2026. CBS Sports and Yahoo Sports state Green took over in late June and is credited with making improvements with both veterans and younger players during his interim stint. Yahoo Sports also notes the move is viewed as somewhat unexpected, with prior signals suggesting he might not be the team’s long-term choice.
While coverage aligns on the contract length and the change from interim to full-time, outlets differ slightly in emphasis. CBS highlights performance and player improvements during his interim tenure. Yahoo focuses more on the surprise element of the decision. Fox Sports similarly frames the move as the Mets’ long-term commitment to Green.
