The New York Mets fire manager Carlos Mendoza and replace him on an interim basis with Andy Green, with David Stearns announcing the change ahead of a series against the Philadelphia Phillies. The move comes as the Mets sit among the lowest-performing teams in the National League and amid an extended losing streak. Multiple outlets report that the dismissal occurs after Friday and that Green is brought in as the short-term solution to guide the club through the remainder of the season.
In the subsequent game coverage, the Mets snap a losing streak behind a large sixth inning, and Green earns his first win as interim manager. The reports describe the team’s turnaround in the context of a midseason leadership shift aimed at providing immediate momentum.
The Athletic also frames the decision as a response to ongoing organizational dysfunction, noting Green’s familiarity with the team’s internal challenges. Other reporting adds that Green’s interim role is expected to be temporary, with a return to a front-office path after the season’s end.
Overall, the sources converge on the managerial change, the timing around the Phillies series, and the Mets’ improved result immediately afterward.
