Mets Stand by Mendoza, Seek Offense

0:00On May 1st, the New York Mets are kicking off May with the worst record in baseball, sitting at 10 wins and 21 losses. Despite that rough start, team brass is standing firm behind manager Carlos Mendoza with no plans to make a switch anytime soon. David Stern's made it clear they see this slump as an organization-wide issue, not just on the skipper. Earlier this week, reports from MLB.com confirmed the Mets' view the blames, spreading from the front office all the way to the clubhouse. That's a sharp contrast to the Philadelphia Phillies, who fired their manager Rob Thompson after a slow start, even though he had postseason runs in, four straight years. Phillies turn to interim guy Don Mattingley for a spark. Fans and insiders are buzzing about this vote of confidence, especially since owner Steve Cohen has assured Stern's his job is safe too. The Mets' offense has been ice cold, failing in key spots, but no one's pinning that solely on Mendoza since he's not the one swinging the bats. Now, Stern's is in sitting idle. I had a word.

1:02He's already shuffled fringe players and is open to trading starting pictures, except for Nolan McLean, Freddie, Peralta, and Clay Holmes to land some offensive firepower. He pulled off a similar mid-made deal, back with the brewers, flipping prospects for Willie Atomies and flipping their season from below 502, the Vision Champs. With 131 games still ahead, the Mets are betting on their core talent, getting injured guys back, and maybe one big trade to turn. This ship around before it's too late.
