NEW YORK (AP) --- In a change of course, the New York Mets hired interim
manager Andy Green for the full-time job on Tuesday, giving him a three-year
contract.
The team made the announcement before opening a three-game series in Texas
against the Rangers.
Green had been running New York's farm system before taking over as interim
manager when Carlos Mendoza was fired in late June. At the time, Green said he
wasn't particularly interested in managing beyond this year, and Mets President
of Baseball Operations David Stears said Green would return to a front-office
role after the season --- a stance Stearns stuck to in the months that followed.
The last-place Mets have played better baseball under Green, however, going
37-38 since he took over, and the club chose not to conduct a search for a new
manager this offseason.
Green also managed the San Diego Padres from 2016-19.
