Mets Back Mendoza Despite Poor Start

Despite a 10-21 record that includes a 7-19 April, the Mets have confirmed they will not fire manager Carlos Mendoza. General Manager David Stearns made the announcement on Friday, putting to bed speculation about Mendoza's job security.

The decision puts the onus back on the players to improve, with Stearns noting they don't view the team's struggles as a manager problem. Mendoza is in the final guaranteed year of his three-year contract, which includes a club option for 2027. tr-sport.click
