Newly-hired New York Mets manager Luis Rojas already has a big fan in the fraternity of MLB managers.
Retired three-time champion skipper Bruce Bochy praised the Mets’ new manager, via Kevin Kernan of the New York Post.
Bochy, who’s entering the first year of his retirement after 13 seasons in San Francisco with the Giants, is close friends with Rojas’s father, Felipe Alou, and has known the new Mets skipper for several years.
“I’ve gotten to know Luis through Felipe, and you can just see his passion for the game, he’s got a great way about him,” Bochy told the Post.
