Mets Part Ways With Multiple Coaches as Major Overhaul Begins After Finishing Last This Season

The New York Mets have parted ways with multiple coaching staff members following a last-place finish in the NL East. Director of hitting Jeff Albert, quality assurance coach Danny Barnes, and batting practice pitcher Kevin Mahoney will not return for the 2027 season as the team initiates an overhaul after winning just 74 games.

The staffing moves follow widespread offensive regression and persistent injuries across 2026, including an April injury to Juan Soto. The Mets struggled across major statistical categories, which previously led to the dismissal of manager Carlos Mendoza in June amid poor team form and significant pitching struggles.
