The New York Mets designated outfielder Tommy Pham for assignment after he went 0-13 with seven strikeouts, contributing to the team’s 9-19 record, their worst start since 1983. The Mets have struggled offensively, scoring the fewest runs in the majors and experiencing a series of losses, including being swept in four of five series. With postseason hopes dashed following a roster overhaul, manager Carlos Mendoza and the coaching staff may face similar fates as other teams making drastic changes, like the Boston Red Sox. The situation remains critical as the team looks to improve their performance.
