Story summary

Carlos Mendoza, who was fired as manager of the New York Mets in June 2026 following a poor start to the season and a six-game losing streak, has been hired by the Philadelphia Phillies as their third base and infield coach. The announcement came on Thursday from Dave Dombrowski, president of baseball operations for the Phillies, who made several coaching changes after signing manager Don Mattingly to a new two-year deal. Mendoza's tenure with the Mets included leading them to an unexpected run to the NLCS in 2024 but ended poorly due to injuries to key players like Francisco Lindor and Juan Soto, along with team struggles early in 2026. Andy Green took over as interim manager after Mendoza’s departure before being given a permanent contract for three years.
