David Stearns said that he hasn\u2019t considered stepping aside from his role as the Mets\u2019 president of baseball operations \u2014 and that he still has the support of owner Steve Cohen to do the job \u2014 in the aftermath of Carlos Mendoza\u2019s firing<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Mendoza, who guided the Mets to the NLCS in 2024 before they collapsed in the second half of last year and opened 2026 with a 34-47 record, was fired Friday with the Mets reaching a six-game losing streak.<\/p>\n

\u201cI believe that we are building the foundation of an organization that can deliver what we all want,\u201d Stearns said, when asked why he hasn\u2019t considered stepping down. \u201cI don\u2019t believe that our record on the field this year is indicative of some of the advancements that we have made in the organization, but clearly our record is nowhere good enough.\u201d<\/p>\n

Andy Green, who previously managed the Padres, will take over as interim manager<\/a> for the remainder of the season, but Stearns said that Green will return to the office following the campaign \u2014 and that the Mets will conduct a full managerial search.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"David Stearns said that he hasn\u2019t considered stepping aside from his role as the Mets\u2019 president of baseball…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":279503,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[26622,19920,20,9,11,320,10,319,3929],"class_list":["post-279502","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-new-york","tag-carlos-mendoza","tag-david-stearns","tag-mlb","tag-new-york","tag-new-york-headlines","tag-new-york-mets","tag-new-york-news","tag-sports","tag-steve-cohen"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/279502","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=279502"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/279502\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/279503"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=279502"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=279502"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=279502"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
