The New York Mets have made a major move in their search for a new manager, hiring Carlos Mendoza from the New York Yankees as their new manager, according to an Associated Press source. Mendoza has been with the Yankees since 2018, serving as their bench coach.
Mendoza is a highly respected coach in the MLB, having worked with the Chicago Cubs and the Seattle Mariners prior to joining the Yankees. He has been credited with helping to develop some of the top young players in the league, including Aaron Judge and Gleyber Torres.
The Mets have been looking for a new manager since Mickey Callaway was fired in October. Mendoza is the first manager hired by the Mets since then, and he will be tasked with leading the team back to the playoffs. The Mets have not made the playoffs since 2016, and they have not won a World Series since 1986.
Mendoza is known for his strong leadership skills and his ability to develop young players. He is also known for his dedication to analytics and his willingness to embrace new technology. He is expected to bring a fresh approach to the Mets, and he will be looking to build a winning culture in New York.
The Mets are hoping that Mendoza can help them turn things around and get back to the playoffs. With his experience and knowledge, he should be able to help the team reach its goals. It will be interesting to see how he fares in his new role with the Mets.
