PRESS RELEASE: ANDY GREEN NAMED MANAGER

FLUSHING, NY, September 22, 2026 - The New York Mets today announced that they have named Andy Green the 26th manager in team history, agreeing to terms on a three-year contract. The announcement was made by President of Baseball Operations David Stearns. Green has served as interim manager since June 26.

"Andy has connected with and pushed our players to perform, despite the disappointment of the season," said Steve and Alex Cohen. "Over the last several months he has brought discipline, accountability and positivity to the clubhouse, attributes we were seeking in our next manager. We want to congratulate Andy, his wife, Jessica, and their three daughters. We are excited for his continued leadership in the dugout."

"Over the course of the season, it became evident that the next manager of the New York Mets was already in place," said Stearns. "Andy has demonstrated strong leadership qualities and a unique ability to forge connections with our emerging core and distinguished veterans. I look forward to continuing our great partnership as we turn toward the 2027 season."

"I am excited and humbled to officially be named manager of the New York Mets," said Green. "When I accepted the interim role, I didn't anticipate it becoming permanent, but the more time I spent with our players and staff, the clearer it became that this is where my passion and experience could make the greatest impact. That realization led to many conversations with my family, and together we agreed this is the right opportunity at the right time. I want to thank Steve and Alex for the love, ambition and commitment with which they lead this organization, and David for the trust he has placed in me. I believe deeply in what we can build together, and I'm honored to continue serving our players, this organization and the amazing Mets fans."

Green, 49, has led the Mets to a 37-38 record in his role as interim manager. He joined the organization in 2023 and previously served as Senior Vice President, Baseball Development. Before joining the Mets, Green spent four seasons (2020-23) as bench coach of the Chicago Cubs. He previously managed the San Diego Padres from 2016-19, guiding the club to a 274-366 (.428) record. The former infielder played parts of four Major League seasons, including with the Arizona Diamondbacks (2004-06) and the Mets (2009), where he appeared in four games.
