There is no magic cure-all for the 2026 New York Mets. Even after firing manager Carlos Mendoza on Friday, the Mets couldn’t rally under a new voice. Interim manager Andy Green lost two of his first three games in charge in a series loss to the Phillies. While there were some positives on display, we also saw more of the same old problems that have helped to create the current mess the...
I firmly believe in the notion that two things can be right at the same time. And I think that applies to the current situation with the New York Mets right now. Therefore, while it was probably the right decision to fire manager Carlos Mendoza, it is also right that Mendoza wasn’t the main culprit for the current mess. Furthermore, you can make a case that Mendoza should have lost his job...
Good morning, Mets fans. The Mets fired manager Carlos Mendoza on Friday, ending his tenure at the helm of the club at two-and-a-half years. He finished 206-199. Former Padres manager Andy Green took over as interim manager for the remainder of the season, and a full search for a new manager will occur in the offseason. Latest Mets News Mendoza released a statement following his firing, thanking...
We know that the Mets have had a very disappointing 2026 season so far… and they’ve made a move – manager Carlos Mendoza has officially been fired. Here’s what we here at MMO think about the move, and if it’ll really make an impact on the rest of the season. Nick Kalantzopoulos I’m hearing a lot of “this isn’t Mendozas fault it’s the roster.” And while...
The Mets have had a disappointing season, and Carlos Mendoza won’t be around for the finish, as the New York Post’s Jon Heyman has reported that he’s been let go. Mendoza finishes his time with the Mets at 206-199. Andy Green is taking over as the interim manager, per Heyman. Green had been the senior vice president of player development for the organization and was previously...
Before Kodai Senga took the Citi Field mound Tuesday, David Stearns told the media that the rotation will be judged on a “turn-by-turn” basis. After Senga left the mound, it was unclear if he would take his next turn. Senga (0-6) gave up seven earned runs on three hits, walked five, hit a batter and struck out six over 3 2/3 innings in the 9-6 loss to the Cubs (41-37) in front of...
On Saturday night, the New York Mets lost to the Philadelphia Phillies by a final score of 15-3. Kyle Schwarber hit as many home runs (three) as the Mets scored runs. Bryce Harper hit for the cycle, in only five innings, for the first time in his career. And yet, neither of these players were the biggest problem for the Mets. On January 21, when the Mets made the blockbuster trade for ace Freddy...
It tells you how far the expectations have fallen for Kodai Senga that Tuesday’s night’s performance in the Mets’ 5-3 loss to the Reds can be looked at as mildly encouraging. He walked the first two batters he faced, then Sal Stewart hit an 88 mph sinker 410 feet to left field to give the Reds (35-37) a 3-0 lead. Three batters later in the first, Spencer Steer hit a 95 mph...
Good morning, Mets fans! Now would be a good time for the Mets to get hot. A.J. Ewing connected for three hits, including his second homer, to raise his slash line to .267/.339/.381 as the last-place Mets took two of three from the first-place Braves with an 8-1 victory Sunday in front of 40,106 at Citi Field. Carson Benge, Bo Bichette, Juan Soto and Brett Baty each had two hits and Freddy...
Sean Manaea’s posted his first quality start of 2026 on Saturday. While the offense did him no favors in Saturday night’s 3-1 loss to the Atlanta Braves, Manaea was fantastic. Manaea went six innings, allowing two earned runs on four hits and striking out six. Manaea continued a fantastic stretch of pitching, allowing only nine earned runs over his last 25 2/3 innings pitched....
Freddy Peralta came to the Mets coming off the best season of his career, but over his 13 starts entering Tuesday he had not been close to the pitcher who went 17-6 with a 2.70 ERA and placed fifth in Cy Young voting. But at 4-4 with a 3.63 ERA his numbers had been in line with his performances the two years prior. In 2024, he was 11-9 with a 3.68 ERA and in 2023 he went 12-10 with a 3.86 ERA....
In what seems to be the norm for the 2026 New York Mets, they grabbed defeat from the jaws of victory Saturday night against the Padres. The Mets lost 3-2 thanks to a two run home run by Freddy Fermin off Austin Warren in the bottom of the seventh inning. Fermin entered the game with a .392 OPS and had yet to hit his first home run of the season. Despite the loss, Nolan McLean threw another very...
