Stearns addressed the speculation on Friday, stating "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." The announcement shifts focus to player performance with Mendoza in the final guaranteed year of his three-year deal.
The Mets have struggled significantly, posting a 0-88 record when trailing after eight innings. While Mendoza has made questionable moves during his tenure, the organization appears to view the team's issues as broader than just managerial, putting the onus on players to improve. milkshakeslot.com
