Mets fire manager Carlos Mendoza after team stumbles to 34-47 start despite massive payroll

The New York Mets fired manager Carlos Mendoza on Friday, the team announced.

The move comes with the team in the midst of a miserable season, in which the Mets sit at just 34-47 — one of the worst records in the National League — despite a massive payroll.
