The New York Mets fire manager Carlos Mendoza and replace him with Andy Green on an interim basis, President of Baseball Operations David Stearns announces Friday. The move follows a difficult stretch for the club, including a third-worst record in the National League and another extended losing streak. The change comes as the Mets are scheduled to begin a series against the Philadelphia Phillies, with the announcement made ahead of that matchup. Green, who is familiar with the organization’s recent struggles, steps in to manage the team while the Mets determine their next permanent direction. The decision ends Mendoza’s tenure with New York after the team’s performance did not improve. Green takes over responsibilities immediately as interim manager, and his role is expected to include leading day-to-day decisions and game management through the remainder of the current period. The sources present the dismissal as a response to ongoing on-field results and organizational dysfunction rather than a specific singular incident.
