CARLOS MENDOZA NAMED METS MANAGER

 



CARLOS MENDOZA NAMED METS MANAGER

 


FLUSHING, N.Y., November 13, 2023 – The New York Mets today announced that they have named Carlos Mendoza the 25th manager in team history, agreeing to terms on a three-year contract with a club option for a fourth year. He will be introduced in a press conference in the Piazza 31 Club at Citi Field on Tuesday, November 14 at 12 p.m.

 

Mendoza, who turns 44 on November 27, spent the last 15 years in the Yankees organization, including the previous four as the team’s major league bench coach.

 

“We are excited to begin this new chapter of Mets baseball,” Mets owners Steve and Alex Cohen said. “Carlos brings a wealth of experience to the Mets that includes more than a decade managing and coaching in the minors as well as serving as bench coach the last four years with our cross-town rivals. Carlos is full of energy, passion and it was easy to see he’ll have a great rapport with both our veteran and young players.”

 

Mendoza, who will wear uniform #28, served two seasons (2018-2019) as the Yankees’ major league quality control coach and infield coach before he was promoted to bench coach.

 

“We promised an exhaustive search and we are thrilled to introduce Carlos as the next manager of the Mets,” President of Baseball Operations David Stearns said. “Carlos has a brilliant baseball mind and a finely honed ability to collaborate with others. He comes with a fantastic reputation as a trusted leader and someone who has been beloved in every stop of his career. Carlos knows what it takes to lead, especially here in New York, and I am looking forward to partnering with him to bring sustained success to this franchise.”

 

Mendoza, a native of Barquisimeto, Venezuela, is the second Venezuelan-born manager in Major League history, joining Ozzie Guillén. He served as the bench coach for Venezuela during the 2023 World Baseball Classic. Additionally, Mendoza managed the Cardenales de Lara of the Venezuelan Winter League in 2021 and 2022. He had previously been their beach coach for the 2017-2018 campaign.

 

“I couldn’t be more excited to manage this tremendous franchise,” Mendoza said. “I want Mets fans to know that I will pour every ounce of energy into this job and we share a common goal of bringing a championship to Queens. I’m proud to represent Venezuela and the Mets and I’m grateful Steve, Alex and David gave me this wonderful opportunity.”

 

Mendoza was the Yankees’ lower level field coordinator in 2017 and infield coordinator from 2013-17. He managed Charleston, the Yankees’ Single-A affiliate in the South Atlantic League in 2012. He managed the Gulf Coast League Yankees to the 2011 championship. Mendoza coached with short-season Single-A Staten Island in the New York-Penn League in 2009 and with Charleston in 2010.

 

He served as the Scottsdale Scorpions manager in the Arizona Fall League in 2012 and 2016. Mendoza was the bench coach for the Gigantes de Carolina in the Puerto Rican Winter League during the 2014-15 campaign.

 

Mendoza played 10 minor league seasons (1997-2009) as an infielder in the San Francisco Giants and Yankees organizations as well as a three-years for the independent Pensacola Pelicans (2004-2006). He was originally signed by the Giants as a non-drafted free agent in 1996.

 

Carlos and his wife, Francis, have two sons, Adrian and Andres.

The7LineArmy 2024

 

We all know 2023 didn't go according to plan, but we hope to turn over a new leaf with a win filled 2024 season. Join us! 

The day the next seasons schedule comes out, we instantly get cracking. We now have still have six more ballparks to visit to completely close out all of MLB. That is until more new ones open up eventually. Vegas? Oh man. 

Although we have a lot of the process down to a science now, our outings still take many months to figure out. Between finalizing pricing with the away teams, locking up specific sections, hotel blocks, bus trips to the close ones, event t-shirts, and so on. It all adds up. There really is no offseason for us.

First up will be Spring Training! Those tickets go up on November 13th. Full details here: Spring Training with The 7 Line Army!


Without further ado, here is our 2024 schedule... 

Some things to note:

- We're heading back to Brooklyn! Our Cyclones outings are always fun. We weren't able to add Coney Island to this years schedule, but we'll be back in 2024. Sorry, no Syracuse or Rumble Ponies outings in 2024. We'll be back Upstate eventually. 

- Finally checking off Tampa Bay Rays and the Chicago White Sox! We were supposed to hit Tampa in 2021, but the pandemic had other plans. 

LONDON ON JUNE 8TH! This is the "home game" of the 2-game London Series. We had a meeting with MLB/Mets about the trip and we're shooting for 2,000 tickets to the June 8th game. Once we have all the details finalized, we'll be sure to share them with you all. Make sure you're on our mailing list, so you don't miss any of that info. We're working on an option if you'd also like to hit the game on June 9th. That won't be an "outing", but you should be able to grab tickets to both once you get access to our link. Of course we're working on a hotel block and pre-game party as well. STAY TUNED!

- Heading back to Philly again. It's so close to Queens and is well attended. Our last two outings had over 1,000 fans in attendance. If they stay popular, we'll keep doing it when the series lands on a weekend and it makes sense with the rest of our schedule. 

Home package members:

- Tickets to all 12 home T7LA games. Of course Opening Day, Subway Series, and the final home game of the season are always in there. We added more Saturdays for 2024 and tried to space things out the best we could.  

- Option to purchase a full strip in your same seat if/when the Mets make the playoffs.

- New member home ticket packages come with The 7 Line Army's 2024 jersey. Existing members have the option to purchase one if they'd like. They are not sold separately to the public. We're already sampling the new jersey for 2024 and it might be my favorite one yet. Totally different style than we've ever done that I think a lot of you are going to be excited about. Yes, it's orange. We'll show it off soon. 

- All home members will have the option to purchase London Series tickets before our public sale. So if you wanna go, you're automatically in. 

- Members will have the option to renew their seats shortly. Any open seats will then move to a public sale. Make sure you're on our mailing list if you want to join! Spots fill up quick!
