Mets Consider Firing Mendoza, Cora Eyed as Replacement

0:00It's April 28th. This is New York Metz News today. Your AI-powered team coverage. The New York Metz are in deep trouble, sitting at nine wins and 19 losses, tied for the worst record in baseball after getting swept by the Colorado Rockies this weekend. Their desperate for a shake-up and whispers are growing about firing manager Carlos Mendoza for someone with more proven fire like Alex Cora. That collapse isn't new. The Metz have been stumbling since mid-June last year. Having 38 and 55 down the stretch to miss the playoffs, and now 47 and 74 overall in that stretch. Mendoza's got a solid 181 and 171 mark over three seasons, but the team's vibe needs a fresh voice in the dugout. Meanwhile, Boston just axed Cora and his staff after a 10 and 17 start, despite his world series win in 2018 and three playoff runs, with the Red Sox. The guys a winner with a 620 and 541 career record, and he even played for the Metz back in 2009 and 2010, so he knows the New York scene cold.

1:04Cora still owed over 13 million on his 21.75 million deal that ran through 2027, which could let the Metz snag him on the cheap if he jumps back in soon, but watch out, fill my circle if they ditch Rob Thompson too. Right now, Mendoza's job looks shaky in the last year of his contract, but the Metz haven't pulled the trigger and even slotted him for media. Tomorrow, if the loss is keep piling up though, Cora could slide right in and turn this ship around.
