Mets signed manager Andy Green to a three-year contract extension.
Green receives a new contract to stay on as New York’s permanent manager after spending the last three months as the club’s interim skipper. Mets president David Stearns ultimately decided to reverse course on hiring a new manager after Green, who hasn’t managed since being dismissed by the Padres back in 2019, did an admirable job navigating the injury-ravaged Mets following Carlos Mendoza’s dismissal in late June. He’s displayed an uncanny knack for saying the right thing to the media when faced with difficult situations over the last few weeks and has certainly earned the opportunity to lead New York’s relatively young nucleus for the next couple seasons.
