Francisco Lindor Defends Manager Carlos Mendoza After Mets Drop 11th Straight Game
David Stearns said Carlos Mendoza is not to blame as the Mets scored 4 runs in 4 games and fell to their ninth straight loss.
- On Friday, New York Mets president of baseball operations David Stearns defended manager Carlos Mendoza, stating the manager is not to blame for the team's 11-game losing streak.
- With the MLB's second-largest payroll at over $381 million, the Mets expected to contend for the World Series but currently sit last in the National League East with a 7-13 record.
- All-Star shortstop Francisco Lindor defended Mendoza after Sunday's 2-1 loss to the Chicago Cubs, saying, "It would be unfair to just throw everything on him." The Mets have been outscored 62-19 during the streak.
- The Mets are off Monday before beginning a nine-game homestand Tuesday night against the Minnesota Twins, seeking to reverse the 11-game skid that reached its peak on Sunday.
- Matching the franchise's longest skid since 2004, this 11-game losing streak presents a historic challenge; only four teams have reached the postseason after such a double-digit slide, including the Cleveland Guardians and Los Angeles Dodgers.
