Mets Stick with Mendoza Despite Slump

0:00It's May 1st, New York Mets News today starts now, AI powered and game ready. I'm Cory with the story. The New York Mets are planning to stick with manager Carlos Mendoza, despite their rough 10-21 start, the worst record in baseball. Team President David Sterns made it clear they see no need for a change right now, even after a franchise worst 12 game losing streak. They finally snapped that streak on April 22nd, with a 3-2 win over the Minnesota Twins, but things haven't turned around. Since then, they've dropped five of their last six games, including a sweep by the Colorado Rockies. Fans and front office folks know the pressure is on, especially sitting dead last in the National League East. They're just two games back of the Philadelphia Phillies, who fired their manager Rob Thompson earlier this week and have won three straight under. Interim Boss, Don Mattingley, Mendoza's in the final year of his three-year deal after getting hired in 2023. He's posted a 182 and 173 mark overall, but the team crumbled last season from leading
