Carlos Mendoza became the Mets' scapegoat — but the problems go far beyond a 34-47 record

Carlos Mendoza has been fired as manager of the New York Mets, serving as a scapegoat for the team's poor performance. At the time of his dismissal, the Mets held a disappointing 34-47 record. However, analysts argue that the team's struggles stem from deeper organizational issues that extend beyond Mendoza's managerial decisions.
