The New York Mets are sticking with manager Carlos Mendoza despite one of the worst starts in franchise history, president of baseball operations David Stearns told MLB.com on Friday.
The Mets brought back Mendoza for a third season despite missing the playoffs last season. They enter this weekend's series at Anaheim with the worst record in the majors at 10-21. It's the third-worst start to a season in franchise history through 31 games.
'We know our record is not what we want, and we know we are capable of more,' Stearns said. 'We don't view this as a manager problem, and we don't intend to make a change.'
Two other managers have been fired in the first month-plus of this season, Boston's Alex Cora and Philadelphia's Rob Thomson. But the Mets' ownership reportedly views early-season injuries to star players Juan Soto and Francisco Lindor as bigger factors in the team's slow start than Mendoza's management.
The Mets are trying to do what no team ever has in major league history: lose 12 straight games and still make the playoffs.
Mendoza, 46, is in the third year of the contract he signed ahead of the 2024 season. The team has an option to extend his deal through the 2027 season.
