NEW YORK (AP) — Carlos Mendoza was fired as manager of the underperforming New York Mets on Friday and replaced by Andy Green.
New York is 34-47 following a six-game losing streak, 15 games behind NL East-leading Atlanta and 9 1/2 games back of the NL’s last wild-card berth.
Mets owner Steve Cohen, with one of baseball’s highest payrolls, had high expectations for a team without a World Series title since 1986.
