Mendoza acknowledged that the recent dismissals of managers in Major League Baseball, such as the cases of Alex Cora and Rob Thomson, do not go unnoticed, although he assured that his focus remains centered on reversing the bad moment of the New York team. The leader explained that, during the last few days, his attention has been directed towards managing the multiple injuries, including those of Juan Soto, Luis Robert Jr., and Kodai Senga, which has further complicated the team’s situation. As for on-field performance, Mendoza pointed out that the offense — among the least productive in the league — needs urgent adjustments. In that regard, he revealed that he has insisted to his players on simplifying their approach at the plate and returning to the basics of their offensive game. He also supported the work of his coaching staff, especially the batting coaches, and took responsibility for the adverse results. “It’s a difficult situation, but part of the business. My job is to keep coming every day and get the best out of my players,” said Mendoza, who reiterated his confidence in the team’s ability to reverse the bad start. The Mets, affected by injuries and a lack of offensive consistency, seek to stabilize their performance while pressure mounts on their coaching staff at the start of the 2026 Major League Baseball season.
