The New York Mets have made a notable change in their managerial plans, promoting interim manager Andy Green to the full-time position on Tuesday and handing him a three-year contract.
Green had guided New York to a 37-38 record after taking over the team in late June following the dismissal of Carlos Mendoza. The Mets were 34-47 at the halfway point of the season when Mendoza was fired on June 26. However, estimates that factor in his income from his MLB playing days and subsequent coaching and managerial roles suggest that his wealth could be between $1 million and $5 million. The 49-year-old Green brings previous major league managerial experience to the position. A former MLB infielder, he managed the San Diego Padres from 2016 through 2019 and compiled a 274-366 record during his four seasons with the club. Green joined the Mets organization in 2023 as senior vice president of baseball development before later taking charge of the club’s farm system.
The Mets announced the decision ahead of their three-game series opener against the Texas Rangers. His decision to accept a three-year deal therefore represents a change from his earlier stance and puts him in charge of the club on a permanent basis. Andy Green’s precise net worth remains undisclosed to the public. Green had reportedly indicated that he preferred returning to his front-office position after the season rather than continuing as the Mets’ manager. When Green first stepped into the dugout on an interim basis, he made it clear that he was not particularly interested in returning to a permanent major league managerial role.
