NEW YORK, NY – The New York Mets have officially parted ways with manager Carlos Mendoza, effective Friday, June 26, 2026. The move comes hours after the club suffered its seventh consecutive loss, capping a deeply disappointing first half of the 2026 MLB season.
A Season Spiraling Downward
Mendoza's tenure with the Mets concluded with the team holding a dismal 34-47 record. The firing was announced swiftly after Friday's defeat, which extended the team's current losing streak to seven games and underscored the struggles that have plagued the Mets throughout the season.
The organization made the decision following a particularly challenging period, as the team could not break free from its current slump. The record of 34-47 starkly illustrates the underperformance that characterized Mendoza's leadership during the first half of the 2026 campaign, prompting the swift change in leadership.
