Summary
34-47 at the season's midpoint, New York dismissed Carlos Mendoza after a four-game Cubs sweep left the Mets 13 games under .500.
58-22 over a six-game skid, the collapse capped a season derailed by a 12-game April losing streak and a roster overhaul that failed to stabilize the club.
A .675 OPS, 4.90 rotation ERA and the league's third-most errors underscored the slide, including a six-error game Wednesday that drew chants for departed slugger Pete Alonso.
Andy Green, a former Padres manager working in the front office, takes over on an interim basis as David Stearns and Steve Cohen say fans deserve better.
72-102 since June 13 last year, the Mets have cratered despite baseball's biggest payroll and are on pace for their first sub-70-win season since 2003.
