Steve Cohen & Mets Clear Stance on Moving On From Carlos Mendoza After Dropping 2025 Playoff Berth

When you spend $340 million, you expect something great, but the New York Mets delivered a disaster. The team’s painful 2025 season finally ended Sunday in Miami after losing 4-0 to the Marlins at LoanDepot Park, and the team built for a World Series won’t even see the playoffs. After such collapses, the usual scapegoat becomes the manager. And that question remains.

The final day was a special kind of heartbreak for the Queens because they needed just one win against the Marlins to go to October, and destiny was completely in their hands, especially after the Reds lost to the Brewers 4-2. But they couldn’t deliver, once again thanks to the starting pitching crisis, as Manager Carlos Mendoza had to remove Sean Manaea after only  1 ²/₃ innings, who later saw his team fall into a four-run deficit in the fourth inning, and from there they couldn’t recover. And they even left 10 runners on base for the whole game.

Now, after such a monumental failure, what’s next for the Manager Carlos Mendoza? Owner Steve Cohen can easily point the finger at his manager, but will it suffice? According to SNY’s Andy Martino, manager Carlos Mendoza’s job is safe. Martino tweeted, “The Mets have absolutely no plans to fire Carlos Mendoza off this collapse. As they shouldn’t. Beyond that it gets interesting. Will write something this evening.”
