If Green served as the Mets manager from the start given their roster status, they mathematically would\u2019ve finished 79-83.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/BrandonTierney\/status\/2102502619356832141?s=20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener external nofollow\">@BrandonTierney<\/a>: \u201cStearns needs to get his act together, clearly\u2026 but Andy Green fits: great communicator, holds players accountable. Good baseball man. I like it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/michaelgbaron\/status\/2102502112496369722?s=20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener external nofollow\">@michaelgbaron<\/a>: \u201cIn short, why fix what isn\u2019t broken with Andy Green? The only question really was, did he want to stay on as manager. He is everything the #Mets need right now, and this fragmented roster has performed under his watch. He knows the system, has a pulse on this organization.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/threeinningfan\/status\/2102497371024171202?s=20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener external nofollow\">@threeinningfan<\/a>: \u201cAndy Green with a 3 year deal to manage the Mets. With their young team, and his ability to manage young talent, it seems like a great move.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/WillSammon\/status\/2102496094156660896?s=20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener external nofollow\">@WillSammon<\/a>: \u201cThere were a lot of people within the Mets hoping Green would be the full-time manager. That includes players. Asked a couple Mets veterans recently what they wanted in a manager. Funny, in different conversations, they offered the same one-word answer before adding more: \u2018Andy.&#8217;\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/HoodieAlonso\/status\/2102496727563706709?s=20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener external nofollow\">@HoodieAlonso<\/a>: \u201cReally like the Andy Green hire. Oversaw the development of pretty much our entire young core, players seem to really respond well to him, he doesn\u2019t baby the players, and I\u2019ve been really impressed with his media appearances. That\u2019s all really important for a modern manager imo.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/DTG616\/status\/2102498247084273822?s=20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener external nofollow\">@DTG616<\/a>: \u201cAndy Green has a good pulse of the current team. He seems to have a calm, confident demeanor, and has extensive knowledge of future prospects coming up from his Player Development role.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Overall, fans and analysts seem quite pleased with the decision.<\/p>\n<p>Where the Mets Currently Stand<\/p>\n<p>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-inline wp-image-6264759\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/new-york-mets-v-atlanta-braves-atlanta-georgia-august-10-a-j-e1786984906582.jpg\" alt=\"Andy Green\" width=\"782\" height=\"439\"\/>GettyATLANTA, GEORGIA \u2013 AUGUST 10: <a class=\"wpil_keyword_link\" href=\"https:\/\/heavy.com\/mlb\/player\/a-j-ewing\/\" title=\"A.J.
