Slams 'Embarrassing' Loss While Managing Major Roster Shifts

Mets manager Carlos Mendoza did not hold back after Wednesday’s 10-5 loss to the Cubs, labeling the team's error-prone performance as "embarrassing." Amid the on-field struggles, Mendoza navigated significant roster changes, including activating Francisco Lindor and moving Kodai Senga to the bullpen. He is also monitoring Juan Soto’s back tightness, noting that an IL stint remains a possibility. Mendoza defended pitcher Sean Manaea while emphasizing the need for cleaner play following the sweep.
