The New York Mets fired manager Carlos Mendoza on Friday, replacing him with Andy Green as interim manager.
The Mets have struggled this season, currently standing 13th in the National League with a 34-47 record, on a L6 streak.
The Mets' poor performance led to Mendoza's dismissal, according to a report from Jon Heyman of the New York Post.
Mendoza was in his third season with the NL East club, which has the highest payroll in the Majors.
Andy Green, 48, is a former MLB infielder who played for the Arizona Diamondbacks and the New York Mets.
He managed the San Diego Padres from 2016-19, leading the team to a 274-366 record in four seasons.
Green was with the Mets in a player development role before being named interim manager.
The Mets lost their last game 3-4 vs Chicago Cubs on 2026-06-25.
Andy Green will speak with the media at 4:15 p.m. EDT, according to Steve Adams of MLB Trade Rumors.
The Mets hope Green can turn the team's season around, but it won't be easy with a tough schedule ahead.
Green's experience as a manager and coach will be valuable in his new role.
The Mets' fans are eager to see how Green will perform as interim manager.
