The New York Mets are finalizing a contract to make Luis Rojas their next manager after the team parted ways with Carlos Beltran for his role in the 2017 Astros' sign-stealing scandal, according to MLB.com's Anthony DiComo and multiple reports.
Rojas has spent 14 seasons within the Mets organization. He was Mickey Callaway's quality control coach last season. He interviewed for the manager role after Callaway was fired in October.
Beltran was the third manager to lose his job in the fallout of the Astros scandal. Former Astros manager AJ Hinch was suspended and subsequently fired.
