ESPN’s David Schoenfield gave the Mets a D-minus for their 2026 season, citing manager Andy Green and rookies Nolan McLean, Carson Benge and A.J. Ewing. Green’s interim tag was removed and he was given a three-year deal Tuesday.
McLean had a 3.18 ERA, 189 strikeouts and a 1.19 WHIP. Benge, 23, hit .277 with 19 home runs, 62 RBIs and a .764 OPS while providing quality defense. Ewing hit .257 with 10 homers, 40 RBIs and a .705 OPS; the article notes he has room to improve.
