As the New York Mets announced that Luis Rojas would return as the team manager for the 2021 season, president Sandy Alderson was very happy to welcome him back into the fold.

“I’m very happy about that decision,” Alderson said. “I think Luis is happy as well, and I’m looking forward to working with Luis with our new general manager and the rest of the new baseball operations group toward a successful 2021 season.”

Two weeks ago, the New York Mets’ president had said that Rojas was “very likely” to return as the team skipper, but didn’t quite make it official because he said that the president of baseball operations and the general manager, two positions that still haven’t been filled, would like to have a say in that decision.
