Soto Backs Mendoza, Mets Need Unity

0:00On April 28th, the Mets are off to their worst star ever at 9 wins and 19 losses, sitting dead last in baseball. Manager Carlos Mendoza's job is hanging by a thread, but hope might come from his star players publicly backing him up. Guys like Juan Soto and Francisco Lindor have dropped comments that sound supported behind the scenes, too, even if we can't confirm everything. For a team already way off expectations, sticking with the manager of the clubhouse likes could be key to turning things around. After dropping both ends of a double header to the Colorado Rockies on Sunday, Soto stepped up big time. He made it clear the blame in On Mendoza, or General Manager David Sterns, praising how they built the solid squad. Players got to own the performance out there, Soto emphasized, and he's been impressed with Mendoza's handling of the role so far. Firing him now might just tank morale even lower. With leaders like Soto owning some heat as the face of the franchise, the real fix lies in the whole team stepping up, keeping that unity intact, too. Climb out of this hole. That's the story
