What happened: Keith Hernandez said he is absolutely thrilled with the call. Green sheds the interim tag to remain in the Mets dugout long term.

Why it matters: The decision centers continuity around a young core headlined by Nolan McLean, Carson Benge and A.J. Ewing. It lands with the Mets-Rangers game still scheduled at 0-0.

What to watch: Watch how the full-time role shapes dugout direction once the Rangers series begins.
