New York Mets move on from manager Luis Rojas after third-place finish

The New York Mets will not pick up manager Luis Rojas' option for next season, ending his tenure with the team at two seasons.

Rojas drew praise earlier this year as New York led the NL East for three months, but the team began a collapse in early August without injured ace Jacob deGrom and was eliminated from playoff contention with more than a week remaining. The Mets finished in third place with a 77-85 record.

Rojas finishes with an overall record of 103-119.

"The entire Mets organization is grateful for the dedication and devotion that Luis has exhibited over the last two seasons as manager," Mets president Sandy Alderson said in a statement.
