An insider informed ESNY that the New York Mets could have a new manager in place by the end of the week. Additionally, it could come from within the current coaching staff that was assembled for Carlos Beltran.
The insider was able to confirm that Luis Rojas and Tony DeFrancesco are two names that are mentioned to succeed Beltran.
Rojas, the quality control coach has no managerial experience. Although, DeFrancesco, a New York native, was an interim manager in 2012 for the Houston Astros before A.J. Hinch was hired.
The Astros, of course, are the focal part of this cheating scandal, which means DeFrancesco isn’t totally out of the woods.
