NEW YORK (AP) — Carlos Mendoza was officially hired Monday as manager of the New York Mets with a three-year contract and the task of leading a turnaround from 2023’s huge failure.
The 43-year-old will be introduced Tuesday at Citi Field. His deal includes a team option for 2027.
Mets owner Steve Cohen and his wife Alex were the first people quoted in the team’s announcement.
Carlos brings a wealth of experience to the Mets that includes more than a decade managing and coaching in the minors as well as serving as bench coach the last four years with our cross-town rivals,” they said in a statement. “Carlos is full of energy, passion and it was easy to see he’ll have a great rapport with both our veteran and young players.”
