The New York Mets were swept by the Colorado Rockies over the weekend.
They scored just one run in Sunday's doubleheader. Simply, that's not ideal for a club that has the second-highest payroll in baseball.
The Mets managed to snap their 12-game losing streak, but worries about the team's ability to flip the switch remain. Bleacher Report's Scott Polacek believes a managerial change could be looming.
"While Carlos Mendoza led the team to the National League Championship Series in his first year in 2024, New York disappointed in 2025 by missing the playoffs entirely and has looked nothing like a playoff team in 2026 to this point," Polacek wrote Sunday.
He listed the Mets as one of three teams that could hire Alex Cora, who was fired by the Boston Red Sox this past weekend.

"You don't think the New York Mets are asking themselves whether they should hire Cora now, and part with Carlos Mendoza?" Nightengale hypothesized.
Mendoza could be on the way out if things don't get better for the Mets. Cora is a top candidate and even played 144 games for the NL East club from 2009-10.
