“Pete is a great Met,” Stearns said at Monday’s postmortem news conference at Citi Field. “He had a fantastic year. I said this last year and it worked out: I’d love to have Pete back, and we’ll see where the offseason goes.”

After Sunday’s heartbreaking 4-0 loss to the Miami Marlins, which sealed the Mets’ playoff fate — they didn’t make it — Alonso confirmed that he’d be opting out of the final year of his two-year, $54 million contract. Stearns refused to speculate on Alonso’s future.

Despite collapsing out of a postseason berth the last few weeks, Carlos Mendoza will return as manager of the New York Mets next season, president of baseball operations David Stearns said Monday. The rest of the team's coaching staff will be evaluated in the coming weeks.

New York Mets fans have seen David Stearns tendencies, for better or worse, emerge and these three habits are ones that he needs to break to find more success in 2026.

The New York Mets were one of the biggest disappointments in baseball this season, failing to reach the postseason after losing 4-0 to the Miami Marlins on Sunday.

The New York Mets held the best record in baseball in June and veteran starter Kodai Senga was one of the driving forces behind the team's strong start to the season.

You can’t even say they went out with a whimper, because a whimper requires a heartbeat and the Mets flatlined this game, same as they’ve flatlined the past 3 ½ months. A whimper produces an actual sound, and across 2 hours and 49 minutes on the last day of this abomination of a season, the Mets were as quiet as a church mouse.

Steve Cohen apologized to Mets fans on Monday for the team failing to make the playoffs. The Mets owner issued the apology on his verified X account.
