Owner Steve Cohen expressed dissatisfaction, stating the season has been a "disappointment" despite his significant investment of baseball's highest payroll at $358million and a projected $124 million in luxury tax. The Mets are currently on a six-game losing streak, placing them 15 games behind NL East leaders Atlanta and 9 1/2 games out of the final wild-card spot, with the team potentially pivoting towards a selloff due to poor performance and player injuries. Mendoza, who joined the Mets after the 2023 season, leaves with a 206-199 record, having overseen a team that failed to reach the playoffs last year and experienced a 12-game losing streak in April. Andy Green, a former major league infielder and previous manager for the San Diego Padres, becomes the fourth manager under Steve Cohen's ownership, having joined the Mets in 2023 as senior vice president of baseball development.
