New York Mets President of Baseball Operations David Stearns delivers his post-mortem on a disappointing season at Citi Field on Monday, Spet. This means that when the Mets take the field on Opening Day 2026, Mendoza will be the first Mets manager to enter a third season since Terry Collins (2011-2017). When asked about the rest of the coaching staff, Stearns was a bit more vague. “We’re going to go through an evaluation of our entire coaching staff,” Stearns said. Third base coach Mike Sarbaugh, who is also the infielder’s coach, is also well-liked in the club.
