Carlos Mendoza Gives Updates on Winker, Marte & Kranick | Terry Collins Talks David Wright
The Mets press conference on July 18, 2025, featured updates from manager Carlos Mendoza on multiple injured players, bullpen usage, rotation plans, and progress at Triple-A. Mendoza provided timelines for Jesse Winker and Starling Marte, confirmed Max Kranick will undergo Tommy John surgery, and commented on the roles of Ronny Mauricio and Francisco Alvarez. He also discussed lineup and rotation strategy, including Kodai Senga's scheduling and Sean Manaea's pitch count.
Former manager Terry Collins then took questions reflecting on his time managing David Wright, sharing heartfelt stories about Wright’s leadership, return from injury, and impact on the clubhouse, ahead of Wright’s number retirement ceremony.
Carlos Mendoza portion:
00:00 – “What does it mean to you as a manager to have a bona fide lefty that’s established back there now?”
00:51 – “How close are Winker and Marte to returning?”
01:13 – “Winker… is there anything additional going on as far as his side?”
01:37 – “Is Raley just a full go? Are there any restrictions?”
02:15 – “Had you heard back about Max Kranick, whether he's getting Tommy John surgery?”
02:33 – “How much of a blow is this for him?”
03:10 – “Has [Ronny] Mauricio resumed running or baseball activity?”
03:31 – “You have Mauricio in the lineup against a lefty today. What have you seen from that side of the plate?”
04:03 – “What else do you guys want to see from Alvarez at Syracuse before he gets back here?”
05:08 – “What have you seen from [player in] the two-hole the last three, four games?”
05:47 – “What was the thinking behind pushing Senga back into the next series?”
06:22 – “So within that big picture, is it Manaea going Wednesday before the off day?”
06:53 – “On a personal level, how much are you looking forward to tomorrow with the David Wright ceremony?”
07:17 – “Will Manaea and others start to lengthen out their pitch counts over the next few starts?”
Terry Collins portion:
08:25 – “When you think back on your time managing, if you could point to one thing that sticks out, what would that be?”
09:19 – “Was there ever a time you were mad at him or upset with him?”
11:03 – “Where do you feel David Wright made his biggest impact in the clubhouse?”
12:30 – “Can you reflect on the emotions you felt when David hit that home run in Philadelphia after his return?”
13:33 – “What was the World Series run like with him? How important was it to have him along for that?”
14:25 – “What was it about him that players gravitated to so much?”
15:22 – “What was it like meeting him for the first time, and the genesis of him becoming captain?”
