Mets Keep Mendoza Despite Poor Start

The Mets, after posting a 7-19 record in April, do not plan to make a managerial change, Stearns told MLB.com. "We don't view this as a manager problem, and we don't intend to make a change," he said, putting the onus back on the players to improve.

Mendoza is in the final guaranteed year of a three-year deal, which includes a club option for 2027. Stearns acknowledged the team's struggles, noting "the players are not getting it done" despite his ambitious offseason moves that included jettisoning several core roster members. beltedkingfisher.blog
