Mets Sign Andy Green to Three-Year Deal After Interim Stint
21 sourcesUpdated Sep 22, 2026
Andy Green signed a three-year contract to become full-time manager of the New York Mets, the 26th manager in franchise history. He took over as interim after Carlos Mendoza was fired on June 26 and the Mets went 37-38 over 75 games under him. That record led president David Stearns to abandon plans for a broader managerial search. Owners Steve and Alex Cohen praised Green for discipline, accountability and positivity. Green, 49, had reportedly wanted to return to a front-office role rather than stay as manager. Will Sammon of The Athletic reported there were a lot of people within the Mets hoping Green would be the full-time manager, including players. Asked what they wanted in a manager, Mets veterans offered the same one-word answer: "Andy." Green managed the San Diego Padres from 2016 to 2019 to a 274-366 record. The Mets entered the final week of the season at 71-85, last in the National League East. CONTESTED: Rated coverage shows no dispute on the three-year term, the 37-38 interim record, or Stearns dropping a wider search. How the roster is reshaped next remains open.
