The New York Mets, despite the worst record in Major League Baseball (10-21), will not make a coaching change.
New York Mets president of baseball operations David Stearns said the team’s problems don’t stem from Carlos Mendoza.
“We know our record isn’t where we want it to be and we know we’re capable of doing more,” Stearns told MLB.com. “We do not view this as a managerial issue and we have no intention of making a change.”

The Mets’ 10-21 start is the third-worst in franchise history, as only the 1981 (8-22-1) and 1964 (9-22) Mets teams had worse starts through 31 games. The Mets are on a 12-game losing streak and have lost their last five of six games to the lowly Colorado Rockies and Washington Nationals.
No team has ever lost 12 consecutive games and reached the playoffs.
Mets officials still believe in the roster built by Stearns, but believe the roster and baseball operations also share responsibility for the team’s porous start, according to MLB.com.

Mendoza, 46, is in his third season managing the Mets. In 2024, the team started 24-35 but rallied and made a surprise run to the NLCS before losing to the eventual World Series champions, the Los Angeles Dodgers.
In 2025, the Mets had the best record in the National League on June 4 at 39-23, but the team went into free fall afterward and missed the playoffs by one game, going 44-56 down the stretch.
With the team’s struggles in the second half of last season and the horrible start to the season, the noise around Mendoza’s job security has only increased. But the Mets have no plans to make any changes just yet.

Mendoza is 182-173 in his three seasons at the helm.
They will look to begin their journey out of the MLB basement when they take on the Los Angeles Angels (12-20) on Friday at 9:38 p.m. ET.
