Mets Stand by Mendoza Despite Slump

0:00It's May 1st. I'm Corey with the story, and this is New York Met's News Today, your AI-powered team report. The New York Met's are standing by their manager Carlos Mendoza, even with the worst record in baseball, at 10 wins and 21 losses. David Sterns, the president of baseball operations, made it clear that Mendoza's job is safe, and owner Steve Cohen agrees it's not on the skipper. This slump includes dropping 15 of their last 18 games, putting them behind only the 1964 and 1981 squads, through 31 games. Mendoza already shook off a major coaching staff overhauled last off season after nearly making the playoffs. Fans and insiders are relieved, but the pressure is real with two other big market teams already axing their managers this year, the Red Sox with Alex. Corey and the Phillies with Rob Thompson, the Met's $380 million payroll as extra heat. The Phillies have hammered them, sidelining stars like Jorge Palanco, Luis Robert Jr., Francisco Lindor, and even Juan Soto for weeks during APAO.

1:0412. Games Skid. Offense is ice cold from new guys and vets alike, while pitching crumbled lately with breakdowns from Luke Weaver and David Peterson. Sterns says they know they're better than this, and won't panic like back in 2008, when Willie Randolph got the boot in Anaheim. They're digging in together to turn it around.
