Mets Back Mendoza Despite Poor Start

Mets president of baseball operations David Stearns made it clear on Friday that the team doesn't view their struggles as a manager problem. 'We know our record is not what we want, and we know we are capable of more. We don't intend to make a change,' Stearns told MLB.com.

The announcement shifts focus to the players, who now must improve a season that's quickly falling apart. Mendoza is in the final guaranteed year of his three-year deal, which includes a club option for 2027. catcrossgame.com
