Mets' Job Security Move: Patience or Denial?

It's May 1st.

You're listening to New York Metz News today, AI Power Coverage of your team.

I'm Cory with the story.

The New York Metz are in deep trouble this 2026 MLB season, dropping 17 of their last

20 games in April alone, that's turned a rough start into a total meltdown.

And right in the middle of it, the front office just gave manager Carlos Mendoza a vote of

confidence, saying his job is safe no matter what.

Fans everywhere deal with injuries, but the Metz issues run deeper than that.

Big spenders like the Dodgers and Yankees face the same pressure and still compete.

Here, it feels like a lack of team identity and consistency that's dragging them down,

not just bad luck.

Fans are fired up and frustrated, watching their squad spiral with no quick fixes inside.

High expectations mean quick accountability, and usually, the manager takes the heat when

things go this wrong.

But this move skips that step entirely.

By locking in Mendoza early, the brass is signaling no panic button yet, no big trades

or shake-ups on the horizon.

It doubles down on patients amid the chaos, betting the current path will turn around eventually.

That stance might steady the ship long-term, but for now, it leaves everyone wondering

if denial is the real game plan or if real change is coming, before it's too late.
