For many New York Mets fans, one key area of concern was the performance of the coaching staff under Carlos Mendozaās leadership. With instability in that department, the team faced challenges in strategically navigating the latter part of the season.
Some fans speculate this uncertainty contributed to the Metsā decision to release hitting coach Daniel Vogelbach, who will move to the NL Central to join the Milwaukee Brewersā coaching ranks next season.
The Brewers excelled during the 2025 regular season with a 97-65 record but faced a heartbreaking defeat in the NLCS against the reigning champions. With manager Pat Murphy taking the helm, expectations for a stronger showing next season run high among their fanbase.
Meanwhile, the Mets have appointed Troy Snitker as their new hitting coach. Mendoza will now lead a revamped coaching team tasked with overhauling last seasonās disappointing finish. Determined to ensure history does not repeat itself, the Mets are reportedly considering other moves apart from pursuing Cody Bellinger.
