Mets Will Return Andy Green to Front Office as Team Prepares Managerial Search

The decision sets up a Stearns-led search for a new manager while owner Steve Cohen retains final approval.

Overview

  • The Mets plan to move interim manager Andy Green back to a front-office role rather than make him the 2027 field manager.
  • Club sources say Green could be rewarded with an executive promotion, including consideration for the vacant general manager post.
  • President of baseball operations David Stearns will lead the formal offseason search for a new manager and is expected to drive the process.
  • Prominent names being floated for the dugout include Carlos Beltrán, Albert Pujols and David Ross, who publicly said he would 'answer the phone' if contacted.
  • The shift follows a disastrous 2026 season that included a long April losing streak and Carlos Mendoza’s June firing, and it signals a push toward front-office continuity and renewed focus on player development.
