Mets Won't Fire Mendoza Despite Poor Start

The Mets, who posted a 7-19 record in April, received a vote of confidence from Stearns on Friday. "We know our record is not what we want, and we know we are capable of more. We don't view this as a manager problem, and we don't intend to make a change," Stearns told MLB.com. wlop.pl

Mendoza, in the final guaranteed year of his three-year deal, will continue leading the team as the focus shifts to improving player performance. The announcement comes amid discussions about the team's struggles, including a 0-88 record in games trailing after eight innings.
