The New York Mets are hiring Yankees bench coach Carlos Mendoza as their manager, according to a person familiar with the decision.
New York Yankees bench coach Carlos Mendoza during game one of a doubleheader between the New York Yankees and the St. Louis Cardinals on July 01, 2023, at Busch Stadium in St. Louis MO David Stearns said the New York Mets would "cast a wide net" when searching for their next manager.New York Yankees bench coach Carlos Mendoza is being hired as manager of the Mets, according to a person familiar with the decision.
Mendoza, who turns 44 this month, has managed in the Venezuelan Winter League the last two years but never above Class A in the minors — and that was in 2012. He takes over a Mets team that finished fourth in the NL East last season at 75-87, which was 29 games behind first-place Atlanta, despite having the highest payroll in major league history under owner Steve Cohen.
He was hired Monday by the Chicago Cubs to replace David Ross on a massive five-year contract worth more than $40 million, according to a person who spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity because terms of that deal weren't announced. Mendoza, born in Venezuela, has interviewed for several managerial openings around the majors over the last few years. He spent 15 seasons in the Yankees organization, serving as major league quality control and infield coach from 2018-19 before becoming bench coach. He helped New York reach the postseason every year from 2018-22, including AL East titles in 2019 and 2022, before the club stumbled to an 82-80 finish this year and missed the playoffs for the first time since 2016.
Mendoza will become the latest Mets manager with strong previous ties to the Yankees, a group that includes Casey Stengel, Yogi Berra, Jeff Torborg, Dallas Green, Willie Randolph and Showalter.
