US EditionMets Manager Carlos Mendoza Will Return for 2026 Season Despite Collapse, Says Executive David Stearns
Carlos Mendoza will manage the Mets in 2026 after leading them to the 2024 NL Championship Series; coaching staff changes are expected following a late-season collapse.
- On Monday, David Stearns announced Carlos Mendoza will return as the Mets' manager in 2026, a day after the team was eliminated by a Game 162 loss to the Marlins.
- By June 12, the Mets were 45-24 but then went 38-55 to finish 83-79, collapsing after their early success.
- Injuries and poor pitching left the Mets rotation and bullpen depleted, with a 5.65 ERA after the trade deadline, despite the Mets offense leading MLB in runs from Aug. 1.
- Stearns said the organization will conduct an evaluation of the Mets coaching staff next week after a `Tremendously disappointing season`; Mendoza's contract includes the 2026 season and a club option for 2027.
- Fans have reacted sharply as the Mets missed the playoffs after a 4-0 loss to the Miami Marlins, finishing 83-79 but losing the final NL Wild Card spot to the Cincinnati Reds on a tiebreaker.
