The Mets removed the interim tag from Andy Green during a week that also featured Pete Alonso's 300th career home run and Carlos Beltrán's number retirement.
The New York Mets announced Andy Green as their manager, dropping the interim label he had been carrying, according to a Yahoo Sports podcast report. The decision capped a busy stretch for the franchise.
Pete Alonso returned to Citi Field and delivered his 300th career home run. The club also retired Carlos Beltrán's number in a ceremony honoring the former Mets star.
The week brought difficult news as well. Infielder Jared Young suffered what the report described as a severe injury, and longtime broadcaster Howie Rose signed off for the final time.
The developments were discussed on 'A Pod of Their Own,' an all-women-led Mets podcast from the Home Run Applesauce network.
