New York Mets manager Carlos Menoza kept his job after failing to reach the playoffs with a $342 million roster - the second highest in baseball.
His coaching staff isn't so lucky.
As first reported by The New York Post, the Mets are bidding farewell to pitching coach Jeremy Hefner, hitting coaches Eric Chavez and Jeremy Barnes, bench coach John Gibbons and third base coach Mike Sarbaugh.
It's unclear if the coaches were fired or simply not re-signed. Daily Mail has reached out to the team for confirmation.
Gibbons responded to a text message from the Post's Mike Puma by confirming his departure and voicing his support for Mendoza and team president David Stearns.
'It's time for a new adventure, see where baseball takes me,' Gibbons told Puma. 'Time for a fresh face in that job. Mendy and Stearns are the real deal and the team is in great hands.'

The Mets seemed poised to return to the postseason in 2025 after adding New York Yankees slugger Juan Soto on a record-breaking $765 million deal.
To his credit, Soto had another monster year at the plate, hitting 43 home runs while posting a National League-best .396 on-base percentage. Toss in a career-high 38 stolen bases as well as improved defense in right, and Soto's 2025 is an undeniable success at any price.
But while Soto, Francisco Lindor and Pete Alonso powered the league's eighth-best offense in 2025, the Mets pitchers ranked in the bottom half of baseball with a 4.03 earned-run average.
As a result of the inconsistency on the mound, the Mets' playoff chances dropped from an overwhelming 92.2 percent on September 8 to just 44.6 percent on the last day of the season, September 27, when they sealed their fate with a 4-0 loss to the Miami Marlins.
'It's hard to describe,' Mendoza told reporters after the loss. 'I just got done addressing the team and there's no word to describe what we're going through. It's pain. It's frustration. You name it. We came in with a lot of expectations and here we are going home. Not only did we fall short, we didn't even get into October.'
