The New York Mets announced the firing of manager Carlos Mendoza, with Andy Green stepping in as interim manager. Albert Pujols has expressed interest in becoming the team’s permanent manager, leveraging his strong relationship with star outfielder Juan Soto, whom the Mets recently signed to a long-term contract. Despite lacking managerial experience, Pujols is highly respected in MLB, and his candidacy is supported by other figures in the league. The Mets are expected to consider various candidates for the position in the coming months.
