Mets Decline Option On Manager Luis Rojas

By Steve Adams | October 4, 2021 at 11:00pm CDT

The Mets have declined their option on manager Luis Rojas, per a team announcement. Decisions on the remainder of the coaching staff are still pending and expected in the coming days, according to the team. Rojas managed the Mets from 2020-21 under a two-year contract that contained a pair of club options for the 2022-23 seasons. He’s been offered a different position within the organization in a “yet to be determined capacity,” the Mets added.

“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 today’s press release. “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, who turned 40 last month, unexpectedly was elevated from quality control coach to manager after the team abruptly parted ways with Carlos Beltran in the wake of the Astros’ sign-stealing scandal. Beltran, who played with the Astros during that 2017 season and was named in the commissioner’s report at the conclusion of an investigation into the matter, had only been hired as skipper just months prior and did not manage a game with the Mets. Rojas had previously coached and managed in the Mets’ minor league system in addition to time spent as a manager in the Dominican Winter League.

The son of three-time All-Star and 1994 NL Manager of the Year Felipe Alou, and the half-brother of six-time All-Star Moises Alou, Rojas is a baseball lifer who’ll no doubt have ample opportunity to continue his career in the game whether he takes another role with the Mets or looks outside the organization.

“I want to share such heartfelt gratitude to so many in the Mets organization for not only the last two seasons as manager, but for the last 16 years in a variety of roles,” Rojas said in a prepared statement of his own. “In each and every position I held, striving for excellence was our daily mission. I will always hold the relationships and friendships, developed over the years, dear to my heart, and am forever grateful to have been able to wear the Mets uniform for so long. We live in a results oriented business, and am deeply disappointed for our staff and fans that we didn’t reach our goals this season.”

The Mets went 103-119 under Rojas, missing the postseason despite significant playoff aspirations in each of his two seasons as skipper. Injuries played a notable role in the failures of his club, and like any manager, he was oft-criticized for bullpen decisions. Rojas surely didn’t do himself any favors with his handling (and apparent lack of knowledge) of the Javier Baez “thumbs down” debacle, however, and as talk of sweeping changes throughout the organization continued to mount over the final weeks of the season, Rojas appeared to be on an increasingly hot seat.

With Rojas’ ousting now official, the Mets will remarkably begin their search for a fourth manager in five years. Terry Collins enjoyed one of the longest tenures of any manager in recent MLB history, but since the Mets moved on from him after the 2017 season, they’ve cycled through Mickey Callaway (fired and later reported to have committed repeated acts of sexual harassment during his tenure), Beltran (fired before he managed a game) and Rojas (out after two seasons). The Mets will also be in the market for a new baseball operations leader — their fourth since Alderson initially stepped away for health-related purposes in July 2018.

      The Mets will be looking for a new manager. Ron Washington wants to manage again. He was one out from winning the World Series and he took the Rangers to back to back World Series. Also, he has done an outstanding job with the Atlanta Braves as a coach.

          As a Braves fan I can’t understand the segment of the fanbase that has all of this loathing of Snitker. They’ve won multiple division titles with him at the helm.

          It’d be cool to see Wash get another coaching chance if he wants it, but I wouldn’t take him over Snit in Atlanta.

          Snitker has spent his entire adult life in professional baseball. Those fans have spent their life watching the games on TV in between trips to the fridge.

          I’d also like to see Washington get another chance, so long as it’s not for a dumpster-fire organization. He’s in a good spot right now with the Braves organization. He gets to work with some talented young players, which is kind of his forte. I know, I know. Some Braves fans hate the organization, too.

          I think the problem that Braves fans have with Snitker is that he isn’t Bobby Cox (the best manager I’ve observed over many years of watching NL baseball, and I’m a Mets fan).

        • The Mets "Missed WAR"

          8 months ago

          As a Braves fan I think Bobby Cox is the most overrated manager I have ever known. The man only had a great record because Schuerlholz gave him so many Hall of Famers to work with. He never set the starting rotation. He literally let the pitchers do that for him. He was terrible at filling out a lineup card. I would see him constantly bench great hitters and start defensive first players ahead of them pretty much every single day. He would tell Schuerlholz to make terrible trades. One trade for example was when he trade Jermaine Dye and Ryan Klesko for Keith Lockhart and Quilvio Veras. Klesko and Dye were both young and both hit the ball very well. The other 2 guys were old and never hit. That trade was all Cox. With stats like OPS+ and WAR existing now I’m pretty sure most managers would get fired for even suggesting that trade. He ALWAYS started Rafael Belliard and Sid Bream over better hitters and they were terrible. He said he wanted “Sid’s defense.” Bream was a first baseman. WHO WANTS TO USE FIRST BASE FOR DEFENSE INSTEAD OF OFFENSE?? ITS FIRST FREAKING BASE! It’s also pretty easy to win games when most of the time you have Maddux, Glavine or Smoltz on the mound. That’s not what makes a manager good. I would love to know what Cox’s record was when he didn’t have a future hall of famer on the mound. That will tell you how good he really is. He also got flat out managed almost every year the Braves went to the playoffs. 13 out of 14 years. He was terrible at managing a bullpen. He would pick favorites and only use them. The funny thing is that his favorites were very frequently the worst pitchers. About the only good thing I would say about Cox is players loved playing for him. He was a “players manager.” That doesn’t make him actually good though.

          Agreed about Washington’s skills as a coach. However now that they have already cycled thru Callaway and Beltran the team would really be taking a chance hiring Ron. It’s a trifecta no one wants to hit. Rojas had a clean image and was on hand so he was hired for a two year trial. Look for another “clean cut” to get the job. IMHO Rojas wasn’t quite as bad as others seem to believe. When half the team is on the DL it’s hard to win a division.

          Re: Will Smith usage. I get it and want him to be an 8th inning guy, but at a certain point, I don’t think Snit can make that call. He was a pricey FA add from the GM and to a certain extent, I don’t think Snit can overrule the FO. Without a more surefire RP, I don’t think Smith gets moved out of the closer’s role.

          “Choosing to take hard drugs isn’t some innocent mistake. It’s foolish and those that do it should pay for it, like spouse abusers.

          “Society sometimes is too lenient on fools now.”

          How do you compare taking drugs to spousal abuse?

          If a person is married and has kids, it’s irresponsible at best. But if a person isn’t responsible for anyone’s well-being except his own and only does the drugs in his home without endangering others by getting behind the wheel, how does his self-destructive habit rise to the level of spousal abuse, where another person is being injured?

          People like you with a hanging judge mentality seem to get a thrill at the prospect of punishing other people. You probably complain out the other side of your mouth about your taxes while it costs ten of thousands to keep a nonviolent drug offender in jail. instead of getting him treatment to get out from under his habit and live a productive life.

        And he is going to turn 70 in April. One more thing. He didn’t have Nelson Cruz deep enough with the game and the Series on the line. The ball would have been caught If Cruz had been three steps closer to the fence with two outs. Instead, the Rangers lost. Not a guy you want for the Mets.

      Luis Rojas,

      Hasta La Vista Baby! You were never qualified to manage a Major League Team but you were Wilpon qualified in that you were extremely affordable and readily available after Beltran was fired for lying about his Astros cheating to Joel Sherman who was likewise unqualified to replace Mickey Callaway who was unqualified and worse. Of course Sandy Alderson is the real problem with the Mets as he hired or rehired them and the problems all trickle down from him.

    The Mets and their fans are blaming the manager when the problem lies so much deeper. No manager or off-season spending frenzy is going to turn that mess into an instant contender. For five years now, the Mets have averaged 77-85 per 162 games, which is exactly where they ended up in 2021.

      Not solely blaming Rojas, but he was terribly out managed time and time again.

      Rojas was a corporate guy who had zero on field/dugout experience. Mets need a manager who will actually have a clue as to how to anticipate the other team’s moves and take responsibility for his players availability and usage.

      Yes, we had a plethora of injuries. So did other teams. When we’re missing half the major league roster, we were actually IN first place. Had anyone offered us an 8 game lead to start the second half, our regulars healthy (minus deGrom) AND the addition of Baez, would anyone expect to go 16 games UNDER .500 for 75 games? That is ALL on Rojas.

      Fire the hitting ‘coaches’, fire the entire training staff, fire the base coaches, fire the entire coaching staff wherever needed. Then bring in someone who has actually MANAGED players with success before. Then add someone younger or without experience (Meulens?) as bench coach who ownership believes will be the heir apparent and groom him to take over in 2 or 3 years. All I want to see is a manager who manage solely on stats and data. He has to to understand combining both worlds AND common sense. Don’t bench hot hitters, don’t depend on the 13th best pitcher to win games and stop believing the guy who gets at bats every third day is going to perform in the clutch just because of lefty righty match ups.

      Most fans are ignorant and think the manager makes most if not all decisions rather than implementing the gameplans from the front office that the GM told him he must follow. Rojas was quality control coach. He was responsible for seeing that the plans from the front office were understood by the manager, coaches, and players. Of course he followed the plans that the analytics people Porter (fired) or Scott (on leave) hired this past off season. Steve Cohen promised that the Mets analytics department would be beefed up. instead, the Mets got analytics for the juiced ball era of 2017-2019 and the team fell flat using those data and plans

        I on the other hand grew up watching the Miracle ’69 Mets left NYC after the ’73 WS and returned to NYC when Darryl Strawberry arrived in 1983.

Time for LA & Braves to not win another WS.

        I’m not sure this is true, while I don’t share the sentiment that Rojas cost the Mets 15 wins (mostly because I didn’t watch much non-DeGrom Mets games) I’m not sure its fair to say a manager couldn’t or hasn’t cost a team or on the rare occasion been worth 10-15 wins. I would argue most of the on-field value a manager provides these days is in bullpen management (imho), bad bullpen management can quickly stack up, is Rojas a bad bullpen manager? LaRussa reinvented the bullpen, Francona reinvented the way they use big arms and the Kevin Cash is exercising whatever black magic he has going in Tampa, those kinds of things have to be worth much more then the average manager. I’m just saying that I’m open to the idea that periodically a manager is worth more then a coaster.

          That’s not remotely at all how evidence works. Teams records differ from season to season. You are essentially saying that every difference from year to year comes down to one factor that doesn’t even have consistent correlation. A touch of scientific method would be nice. There’s not a drop of logic to what you are saying. Team records vary for multiple reasons, none of which have anything necessarily to do with who is managing, let alone a specific 15 game swing. Try again. (I mean, don’t bother, your assertion is baseless and absurd).

        Once upon a time, one of the Tito haters wrote an article about the 14 games that Tito caused the RS to lose. It was completely inane, such as Papi should’ve sacrificed because he wound up hitting into a DP.

        But the fun part was the mathematics. The little rant was posted about 1/3 of the way thru the season, and their record was something like 36-18. So the implied math was that the RS should’ve been 50-4, except for Tito.

        Even when I pointed this out, there were still a few haters who insisted that the RS should be a 120-win team.

      VonPurpleHayes, Not trying to flame in any way, but it’s similar to the Kapler situation with the Phillies. New managers need time to grow, which Kapler has clearly done (and I wouldn’t blame Girardi either). It’s one of the reasons why I’ve never been a fire-the-manager person. There have been exceptions, but in my 50-plus years watching MLB, not a whole lot of them. As fans, we need to stop pretending that there’s a magic wand to light a fire under a roster that needs improving.

Fans wanted to believe it, even though we knew it wasn’t true. The manager was never the problem. Girardi can obviously win. But he’s a bright baseball mind and knows he’ll need some better players. The Phillies’ defense must have eaten him up. All he can do is play the players he has.

        I said the same thing last year about the Reds. They had talent, but were kind of shooting for a chance at a WC. So you’re looking at a 1:2^5 shot of winning the WS. Which is okay. Or else you trade Gray, Castillo, Suarez and maybe a couple of the young RPs with 2 years of control. Then you’d have a super team in 2-3, that would likely last for 6-7 years.

        Same with the NYMs. Do a tank in 2022, clear some payroll, promote some kids, and then go all-in in 2023. But not everyone likes giving up on one season.

        My two biggest issues with Rojas were his batting orders and lack of addressing all the muscle injuries. The third was his lack of outward passion. Maybe he was just shell shocked, but I questioned many of his moves (as did every announcer), even in the first half. For a data guy, he regularly whiffed on favorable match ups just because they were left left or right. He ran his pitchers out 2-3 days in a row and never set up a quality daily left right starter tandem

He told me the Mets would be better than the Dodgers, who had played an easy schedule so far. I then pointed out that, over the last four years, the Dodgers had averaged 102-60 per 162 games while the Mets were at 77-85. I told that’s probably about how it would end up, with the Dodgers winning 100-plus and the Mets finishing somewhere around their usual 77-85. He told me, if that happened, he wouldn’t post anymore. So…what’s the Mets’ final record?

      The Mets bullpen is underrated and overworked. The starting pitching depth killed the bullpen, not Rojas. A lot of this was due to do injury.

That has nothing to do with Rojas.

        Yet the Mets didn’t trade for a pitcher to help out (like the Dodgers did) and Thor was known from the outset to be a question mark for this past season. deGrom had a unicorn of ac1/2 season.

    Wouldn’t be mad if the team revisited Beltran or explored maybe giving Robin Ventura another chance if they want to go with someone who has had managerial experience.

    But the person who I think would be an awesome first time manager for this organization is Super Joe McEwing. Has seen some bad years with the White Sox but has great relationships with players. Being under Tony L this year has also had to help him grow so much more in the game. He would be the perfect candidate for first time manager.

    Say what you want about his managing but Rojas seems like an upstanding guy. He deserves better than having to be fired (re-read: scapegoated) for that dumpster fire.

    So once new hires get made, the Mets will now have a total of 6 different managers and GMs in the less than 1 year span since Cohen took over (5 if you don’t want to count Brodie Van Wagenen). How many respectable candidates would want to sign up for that?

    Well, I guess Jeff Bridich will be available. So will Jayce Tingler.

    Well here we go again Mets fans always blame the manager and now I guess the front office is as well. This teams fan base will NEVER be happy with their manager. Many of them didn’t care for Terry Collins or Bobby Valentine either who were their two best managers in recent history. The fan base is composed of 95% fools I do not feel bad for them at all. I can promise you no matter who they hire next year this team is full of underachieving losers and mental midgets. Unless they do a total rebuild this team will suffer in mediocrity for years and decades to come.

      But that said, he is already 69, and his managing feels dated. The Rangers were always among the leaders in sacrifices, and sacrifices were already known to be inefficient. And he generally had good hitting teams. The better the hitting, the less you should sacrifice. That just kind of screams out that he is not using modern stats.

          I was thinking bench coach, too. With 2020 being interrupted, this was in effect his rookie season. Rookie managers make mistakes. For all the disappointment, 2021 was a huge growing year for Rojas, something that another team will eventually benefit from. His willingness to embrace the shift went a long way toward making a porous defense better. He just needed some better players.

        The NYMs were down 6-0 in the bottom of the 2nd. Guy on 1st with one out. He leaves the pitcher in to sacrifice, and then puts in an RP. the following inning. So I guess he thought playing for one run, already down 6, was the right move.

          Lots of managers have done that. It’s the proper move in the modern game with short benches. You don’t burn a pinch-hitter in the second inning, especially down by six runs. I have seen other managers do that. Big-time winning managers.

    Not a huge fan of Rojas, but he’s not the problem here. The problem is they can’t hit. The following players all had markedly worse seasons when compared to their career averages (career OPS+, 2021 OPS+; the career numbers include this year, so the disparity is even larger than it appears):

    McCann: 85, 77
    Lindor: 116, 101
    Conforto: 124, 101
    Dom Smith: 104, 84
    McNeil: 124, 86

    That’s five starters with horrible seasons well below expectations. No one aside from Villar exceeded expectations. Baez was great, but a small sample size. Include him if you want. Nimmo, Alonso, and Pillar had seasons consistent with their careers, but nothing more.

    How is this the fault of Rojas? The players need to perform. The blame for this season lies with players like Conforto, Smith, and McNeil. You can blame injuries all you want (and they had a bunch), but too many players didn’t even perform when they were healthy.

      Yeah, Rojas was far from the only thing that sunk the Mets. They need to fire Alderson and hire a new President of Baseball OPS/GM. The next thing is they need a new training staff because for years this club has had issues staying on the field. They need to change the culture around that franchise.

      I don’t think Kapler sprinkled fairy dust on the Giants and made them good. I just think the Giants are a much better team than the Phillies. Managers get too much credit for success and too much blame for failure. Their job is to handle egosband to pull pitchers when they’re tired. In the NL it’s slightly more complicated as they need to make a touch choice for pinch hitters.

    Rojas wasn’t the whole problem, but he wasn’t part of the solution either. As a first and then 2secind year manager, he looked very overmatched by the opposing manager at times. He made many questionable calls that did indeed cost them some games. And yes, the analytics part of the game has taken away from a manager’s instincts, which probably, at times, handcuffed Rojas and override some decisions he wanted to make in game. Not saying Rojas couldn’t manage another team, but the Mets have high expectations and need someone with experience running the club.

          They need an appropriate candidate, not just a name people recognize.

          What constitutes an appropriate candidate though? Name recognition and reputation is what gets Managers repeatedly hired. Who is legitimately out there for the Mets? Maybe its a retred like Showalter or Brad Ausmus or Clint Hurdle maybe its a new voice like Joe McEwing or Hensley Muelens. The Mets haven’t done too well with the new voices of late

        • Cosmo2

          8 months ago

          Name recognition shouldn’t have anything to do with it. Maybe it does, but it shouldn’t. Someone who knows strategy and can handle a clubhouse is what’s needed. Maybe a person known from the past, maybe not. But Cone just sounds like a famous name out of a hat and that’s the last thing they need. They need substance, something more than, “oh hey, I know that name.”

      I liked Bobby Valentine as manager especially when he went back in a game he was thrown out off; with glasses and a nose. MLB has no sense of humor at all considering the steroid abuse and cheating scandals.

      Besides Bobby managed Dusty Baker right out of his shoes in 2000 with a much worse team in the Mets!! 🙂

        Canosucks,

        I remember Bobby Valentine when he was traded to the Mets at the trading deadline in 1977 for Dave Kingman in the Midnight Massacre when Tom Seaver was also traded. I had been familiar with him on other teams and didn’t like him initially but he became a useful hitter soon thereafter.

        Canosucks,

        Bobby Valentine’s managerial persona is he is good with young players and gets the most out of them. He is cerebral but grating and condescending. He has problems with Veteran players like Rickey Henderson and with the Boston Red Sox World Series Players who find him irritating. He brought the Mets to WS in 2000 overachieving and his best Met moment was his heroic 9/11 work in real time.

    Take DeGrom out of the rotation when they needed him the most-injured, Carrasco injured, take Syndergaard out-injured, take Cano out of the lineup because he likes to use steroids, Lindor underperforms, but blame the manager. What a joke. All these things make massive differences.

      Even a health deGrom doesn’t get them to .500. They had a soft schedule to start, but even when in first they had a losing record against teams playing better than .500. A surprisingly weak division his many of their problems early in. They need to do some significant triage this offseason.

        It’s not really to do with a soft schedule. They just got lucky with the Billy McKinneys over performing briefly, floated atop a weak division for a bit, until their overall weaknesses were exposed. Just a bad team that played its best ball in the first half, that’s all.

      • findingnimmo

        8 months ago

        I disagree with this about degrom. I think being out does keep them under .500. He was a known to stop a slide or to take pressure off of the other starters. He would have allowed walker to take a month off and regain his stamina and pitch like he did closer to the first half. He also added a nice bat in the nine hole but that’s half a joke. But seriously, he not o my is a huge upgrade over whatever they threw in place of him, but would have give the bullpen more rest instead of openers and bullpen games or a backup starter going three or four innings. There is a lot that degrom would have prevented which would have given the Mets a lot more hope and health and in the long run wins. Would they have made the playoffs. Probably not. Degrom doesn’t influence smith, mcneil, Lindor, Conforto, and McCann lack of hitting. But it would have made the Mets more competitive for sure.

          The Mets had proven over and over again that they couldn’t win deGrom’s starts even in his Cy Young years.

          The defense and pitching staff ranked in the top five in the NL for a good part of the season. The HITTERS failed daily to have any success against the opposing starter. That tells me one of two things:
          1. The hitting coaches had no idea how to prepare the hitters.
          2. The opposing pitching coaches had a BETTER idea of how to neutralize our hitters.

          Both of the above show that our coaching staff was subpar to even the Pirates’ and Marlins’. Not the players, mind you, but the preparation and plan.

        Do you know what triage means? It means take the most seriously hurt people first and the least seriously hurt people last. It means to sort. I think what you mean is roster surgery or reconstruction.

    I wonder if the Mets will pull a Red Sox and bring back Beltran? Both Cora and Hinch came back this year and proved the value of having a good manager. While Beltran doesn’t have the experience of these two, a lot of people lauded him for his baseball knowledge so why not give him another chance? I’d rather see them hire an up and coming talent than another retread. The last thing the Mets need is a Buck Showalter type. That ship has sailed in MLB. Managers need to connect with their players these days and Beltran could certainly do that.

      Tony LaRussa and Dusty Baker are proving that old school still works in today’s MLB so who’s to say Showalter can’t “connect” with todays players.

      Cora and Hinch come with at least a bit of proven track records, Beltran comes with zero coaching experience and with a front office in disarray and an owner who likes the limelight they may want a proven voice in the locker room.

          As for Baker. The Astros won 95 games, winning 107 games in a season is a rarity. Ask the Giants who did it for the first time in franchise history this year in their 139th season. Baker is doing fine

    I’d like to congratulate @MetsFan22 for being right about his win-total prediction when he said that the Mets would win 95 to 103 games. We all misunderstood him. We thought he meant for 2021, but it’s clear that he meant combined win total for both 2020 and 2021.

    26 wins in 2020 + 77 wins in 2021 = 103 wins.

    And even though the Mets weren’t exactly as good as the Padres, they were close, so @MetsFan22 was pretty close there too when he made his prediction about that too (we’ll ignore the Dodgers prediction).

    Great job @MetsFan22! We’re sorry that we misunderstood.

        As for the season series against the Marlins, it just secures Anthony Bass as Mets MVP. He made the difference in that.

        And yeah, I don’t think I’ve ever seen a front office guy last through 5 managers in such a short stint of years. Sandy has got some real Maverick powers to pull that off.

    My name is James Isabella,I am from the USA . It’s a pleasure for me to write this testimony about how I got my Genital Herpes cured a month ago. I have been reading so many comments of some people who were cured from various diseases by Dr Kpudu, but I never believed them. I was hurt and depressed so I was too curious and wanted to try Dr Kpudu, then I contacted him through his email. When I contacted him, he assured me 100% that he will help me, i pleaded with him to help me out. My treatment was a great success, he healed me just as he promised. He sent me his medication and asked me to go for a check up after 3 weeks of taking the medication. I agreed with him. I took this medication and went for a check up a month later. To my greatest surprise my result was negative after the treatment, i am really happy that I am cured and healthy again. I have waited for 3weeks to be very sure I was completely healed before writing this testimony. I did another blood test one week ago and it was still Herpes negative. So I guess it’s time I recommend anyone going through Herpes contact him through What’s app +2348050406865 or Gmail: drkpudu.herbalhome@gmail.com . Dr Kpudu also has remedy to other diseases like COLD SORES,HIV/AIDS,DIABETES.CANCER,HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE,LUPUS,FIBROIDS AND MANY MORE.
