Mets' Mendoza Aims for World Series in 2026

0:00On March 25th, the New York Metz fell short of the playoffs in 2025, despite big expectations for another strong run. Manager Carlos Mendoza has now set a clear target for 2026, not just reaching October Baseball, but pushing deep into it and claiming A, World Series title. In their first season under Mendoza in 2024, the Metz earned a wildcard spot and made a solid postseason push. They knocked off the Milwaukee Brewers in the wildcard round and beat the Philadelphia Phillies in the Division Series before falling to the Dodgers. In the National League Championship Series, that success fueled optimism heading into 2025, but things unraveled fast. The team started hot, leading the National League East by 5.5 games in mid-June. Yet a mid-season slump dropped them out of contention. They entered the final day with a chance to sneak in, but came up short. Now with the disappointment fresh, all eyes are on Mendoza to deliver in 2026.
