The New York Mets, despite having the worst record in Major League Baseball at 10-21, will not make a change in manager.
New York Mets president of baseball operations David Stearns said the team’s problems do not lie with Carlos Mendoza.
“We know our record is not what we want and we know we’re capable of more,” Stearns told MLB.com. “We do not see this as a managerial issue and we do not intend to make a change.”

The Mets’ 10-21 start is the third-worst in franchise history, with only the 1981 (8-22-1) and 1964 (9-22) Mets having worse starts through 31 games. The Mets are enduring 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 straight games and reached the postseason.
Mets officials still believe in the roster assembled by Stearns, but believe that rosters and baseball operations also share the blame 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 surprising 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 as of June 4 at 39–23, but the team went into freefall after that, missing the postseason by one game, going 44–56 down the stretch.
With the team’s struggles from the second half of last season and the terrible start to this season, the noise surrounding Mendoza’s job security has only increased. But the Mets don’t intend to make any changes just yet.

Mendoza has a 182-173 record in his three seasons at the helm.
They will look to begin their journey out of the MLB cellar when they play the Los Angeles Angels (12-8) on Friday at 9:38 PM ET.
