It’s official — the Mets formally announced on Monday that Carlos Mendoza will be their next manager.
“We are excited to begin this new chapter of Mets baseball,” Mets owners Steve and Alex Cohen said, according to MLB.com. “Carlos brings a wealth of experience to the Mets that includes more than a decade managing and coaching in the minors as well as serving as bench coach the last four years with our cross-town rivals. Carlos is full of energy, passion and it was easy to see he’ll have a great rapport with both our veteran and young players.
