Carlos Mendoza Faces "Hot Seat" Pressure Amid Mets' Offensive Slump

Mets manager Carlos Mendoza is facing increased scrutiny as reports place him on the "hot seat" following a difficult first month of the 2026 season. After a 3-0 loss to the Rockies, Mendoza expressed frustration with the team's stagnant offense, calling it "not a good showing." Despite the pressure, he provided injury updates on Brett Baty and Jorge Polanco and remains focused on navigating a crowded schedule while managing roster health and team performance during this critical stretch.
