Carlos Mendoza will return next season as the manager of the New York Mets, president of baseball operations David Stearns confirmed Tuesday.
'Oh yeah, Mendy's doing a great job,' Stearns told 'The Show' podcast. 'I think he's the right person for this job.'
Mendoza, 46, is in his second season as manager -- a barrier the past three managers didn't cross.
Terry Collins (2011-17) was the most recent manager to last more than two seasons. He was followed by Mickey Callaway (2018-19), Luis Rojas (2020-21) and Buck Showalter (2022-23).
In his first season in 2024, Mendoza led the Mets to an 89-73 record. They lost to the Los Angeles Dodgers in the National League Championship Series in six games.
This season, the Mets are 70-61 and in second place in the National League East, six games behind the Philadelphia Phillies. They are clutching onto the third and final NL wild card, 2 1/2 games ahead of the Cincinnati Reds entering play Tuesday.
On Aug. 2, the Mets were a half-game head of the Phillies but have gone 7-13 since to fall off the pace. Philadelphia is 14-7 in that span.
The Mets host the Phillies in the second game of a three-game series on Tuesday after winning the opener 13-3.
