Overview

  • The Mets were eliminated with a 4-0 loss to the Marlins, finishing 83-79 and losing the final wild-card tiebreaker to the Reds.
  • SNY’s Andy Martino reports the team has no plans to fire Mendoza, with notable and potentially widespread staff changes expected.
  • Mendoza accepted blame for the fall, saying “I’m responsible” and vowing to evaluate how he needs to improve.
  • New York’s season flipped from 45-24 to a 38-55 stretch, with injuries, a thin rotation, bullpen strain and inconsistent offense cited across coverage.
  • Key contract calls now loom, as Pete Alonso confirmed he will opt out and Edwin Díaz is weighing whether to do the same.
