Mets Stick with Mendoza Despite Slump

The New York Mets are holding firm with manager Carlos Mendoza even after one of their worst

starts ever.

They're dead last in the National League East, with the league's worst record right now.

David Sterns, the team's president of baseball operations, may be clear they're not seeing

this as a manager issue and have no plans to switch.

Things up.

Mendoza's in his third season, coming off back-to-back winning records, including a run

to the National League Championship Series in his first year, where they fell to the Dodgers.

They started hot at seven wins and four losses, but then had a brutal 12-game skid against

teams like the athletics, Dodgers, Cubs, and Twins.

Even after snapping it with a couple wins, they've dropped most games since, including

a sweep by the Rockies.

Without star Francisco Lindor in the lineup, the offense has struggled, and new addition

Boba Shed hasn't sparked much change.

Mendoza's got to rally them quick or risk real heat as the season rolls on.
