The New York Mets officially hired Carlos Mendoza as the team’s manager on Monday, giving him a three-year contract to lead the turnaround from 2023’s hugely disappointing season.
Mendoza, 43, will be introduced Tuesday at Citi Field. His deal includes a team option for 2027.
“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,” Mets owners Steve and Alex Cohen 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.”
