The New York Mets are sticking with Luis Rojas for the 2021 season, as team president Sandy Alderson explained to reporters on Monday in a press conference. Although Rojas was appointed as the skipper under the Wilpons and Brodie Van Wagenen’s time, new owner Steve Cohen and Alderson decided to give him another opportunity.
Rojas is a longtime member of the New York Mets in a variety of roles, from minor league manager to bench coach to coach of quality control. For more than a decade, he’s been involved with the organization.
He’s highly regarded as a good manager and has the respect of the players and the front office.
