Overview

  • Multiple outlets reported in mid-September that Andy Green will return to the Mets' front office after serving as interim manager and will not be retained as the club’s full‑time manager.
  • Green steadied the team after Carlos Mendoza’s June firing, compiling roughly a .500 record as interim manager and expressing a preference to resume baseball‑operations work.
  • David Stearns is expected to lead the offseason managerial search and make recommendations to owner Steve Cohen, who will have the final say but is not expected to override Stearns.
  • Reported candidates span high‑profile former players and experienced hires, including Carlos Beltrán and Albert Pujols as splashy options and David Ross as an experienced major‑league manager, with analysts warning that Beltrán’s lack of coaching or managerial experience is a clear risk.
  • The move keeps Green in the organization and leaves open the option of rewarding him with an executive post such as general manager while the Mets rebuild after a disappointing season that ended with their mid‑September elimination from contention.
