Overview
- The Mets announced on Tuesday, October 6, 2026, that Major League hitting director Jeff Albert, quality-assurance coach Dany Barnes, and batting-practice pitcher Kevin Mahoney will not return to the 2027 Major League staff.
- Team reporting says all other members of the Major League coaching staff will remain in place and that manager Andy Green is under a three-year extension signed in late September.
- The club posted the update on its official X account and MLB.com’s Anthony DiComo confirmed the three will be allowed to stay with the organization or speak to other teams.
- The hitting director and quality-assurance coach are central to hitting strategy and analytics-driven game prep, so their departures could lead to changes in how the Mets evaluate and develop hitters.
- Next steps to watch include whether the Mets reassign the departing staff within the organization, promote from the existing coaching bench, or hire externally during the offseason.
