Mets Back Mendoza Despite Poor Start

Mets GM David Stearns confirmed the team won't fire manager Carlos Mendoza despite the club's 10-21 record, putting the onus on players to improve.

After the Mets' poor start to the season, GM David Stearns definitively stated the team won't be making a managerial change. "We don't view this as a manager problem, and we don't intend to make a change," Stearns told MLB.com.

The announcement comes amid a 12-game losing streak and a 0-88 record when trailing after eight innings. With Mendoza in the final guaranteed year of his contract, the pressure now shifts to players to perform better than their underwhelming start. umafrika.club
