Mets Back Carlos Mendoza Despite Seven-Game Skid

Team leaders signal patience, citing roster changes alongside Juan Soto’s calf injury.

Overview

  • The Athletic’s Will Sammon reports Carlos Mendoza is not in danger of losing his job and says it would take a lot more for that to change.
  • The Mets have dropped seven straight to fall to 7-11, scoring only 10 runs during the skid to sit last in the National League East.
  • Owner Steve Cohen posted on X that he believes the club will turn things around, signaling public support for the manager.
  • Veteran players, granted anonymity by The Athletic, said Mendoza has handled early challenges in a season that followed a winter overhaul of the roster and coaching staff.
  • Juan Soto remains out with a right calf strain, and Mendoza said the star outfielder is expected to start running soon.
