NY Mets Get Terrible News About Perfect Carlos Mendoza Replacement
The New York Mets' hopes of replacing struggling manager Carlos Mendoza with Alex Cora have dimmed after Cora declined the Philadelphia Phillies' managerial offer and chose to spend time with his family. The Mets are off to a 9-19 start, tied for the worst record in MLB, following a disastrous 12-game losing streak. Cora, recently fired by the Boston Red Sox, was seen as a top candidate due to his playoff experience and World Series success. However, he is now unlikely to take any managerial role before the season ends.
