By Field Level Media Sep 22 (Field Level Media) - The New York Mets removed the interim tag on manager Andy Green and signed him to a three-year contract on Tuesday. The Mets are 37-38 with six games remaining in the regular season under Green,

With lead executive David Stearns facing a critical offseason, he chose to bring back a familiar face in the dugout who has a losing record in New York.

The New York Mets face the Texas Rangers in the first of a three-game series tonight, Sep. 22, at Globe Life Field — here’s how to watch.

It was reported a week ago that right-handed pitcher Devin Williams would return to the New York Mets . On Tuesday, Williams was reactivated off the 15-day injured list. Furthermore, right-handed pitcher Christian Scott was placed on the 15-day injured list due to left knee inflammation.

Green’s prior experience as a manager came with the San Diego Padres from 2016 to 2019. The Padres went 274–366 during Green’s tenure, which ended with his firing on September 21, 2019. He failed to post a winning record in any of those four seasons, although the Padres were in the middle of a deep rebuild prior to the 2019 season.

The Mets underperformed early and were beset by injuries to Juan Soto, Francisco Lindor and more. They were 34-47 halfway through the season, but are 37-38 since Green took over.

The New York Mets' new crop of rookies has solidified spots on next year's roster, which should reshape David Stearns' offseason plans at multiple spots.
