Sometimes You See the Dismissal
"But aside they are tossed, nonetheless. Having concluded that a third year of Carlos Mendoza managing remains more promising than his second year of managing could be determined culpable for not meeting high expectations, David Stearns and whoever David Stearns takes counsel from decided something had to be done. Or somebody had to be done in."
"As postseason prepared to resume in eight MLB outposts, euphemism season was underway in Flushing on Friday, from whence it was communicated that four coaches "will not return in 2026"; one "has resigned"; one "has announced his retirement"; two "have been given permission to speak to other teams"; and three "have been invited back for the 2026 season"."
The New York Mets announced sweeping coaching changes as the 2025 season ended in underperformance. David Stearns and his advisors decided to remove or reassign multiple coaches, citing a need for change after Carlos Mendoza's second year failed to meet high expectations. Team communications used euphemisms to describe different statuses: not returning, resigning, retiring, given permission to speak elsewhere, or invited back. Observers noted frustration that many coaches remained despite apparent lack of situational preparation. The mass turnover raises questions about the organization's ability to prepare players and about accountability for the season's failures.
