Hours after Chad Tracy was named the permanent manager of the Boston Red Sox, the New York Mets have lifted the interim tag on their skipper Andy Green.
The team has agreed to a three-year deal with their 49-year-old bench boss.
Green was promoted to manager on June 26 following the dismissal of Carlos Mendoza. Green had been working with the team’s front office. Since taking over the team, Green has led them to a 37-38 mark.
A native of Lexington, KY, Green previously spent three-plus seasons as manager of the San Diego Padres from 2016 to 2019. He compiled a record of 274-366 (.428). He was let go by the team in late September of his final season.
An infielder in his playing days, Green was a 24th-round pick of the 2000 MLB Amateur Draft out of Kentucky by the Arizona Diamondbacks. He went on to appear in 140 games across four seasons with the Diamondbacks and Mets. He was a career .200 hitter with 46 hits in 230 at-bats.
The Mets (71-85) open up their penultimate series of the season later on Tuesday against the Texas Rangers (78-78) in Arlington. They wrap up their 2026 campaign with a three-game set on the road against the Washington Nationals (73-84) beginning on Friday.
