The New York Mets announced Monday they have declined the 2022 option on manager Luis Rojas.

"The entire Mets organization is grateful for the dedication and devotion that Luis has exhibited over the last two seasons as manager," team president Sandy Alderson said in a statement. "He has shown a great commitment to the Mets over many years in multiple capacities. These decisions are never easy, but we feel a change is needed at this time."

Rojas went 103-119 across two seasons as manager of the Mets, including a 77-85 record in 2021. The team spent much of the year in first place in the National League East until a late-season collapse that included a 21-37 record from August through October.
