Behind Mets’ decision to hire Luis Rojas as manager
Error 0:
In the cold of winter only 2½ weeks before the start of spring training, the Mets will remain in the comfort of home in hiring a new manager.
Luis Rojas has spent 13 years in the organization in various capacities, but will now have the spotlight on him like never before, as he prepares to assume the reins in the Mets dugout. Rojas, 38, was finalizing a multi-year contract Wednesday, according to general manager Brodie Van Wagenen, to replace Carlos Beltran, who departed as manager last week after he was named in the Astros’ illegal sign-stealing scheme. Rojas will become the second-youngest MLB manager, behind the Twins’ Rocco Baldelli, who is 24 days younger.
