Rojas Fired

The Mets parted ways with manager Luis Rojas:

The team declined its option on Rojas’ contract for 2022, making the announcement a day after finishing third in the NL East at 77-85 in Steve Cohen’s first year of ownership. The move was no surprise, the first of several significant changes coming again this offseason for a club in constant turmoil.

My pre-season review put the Mets at the top of the NL East. They were strong up the middle with a great pitching staff. Injuries played a big part, but Francisco Lindor posting a poor season and Jacob deGrom missing much of the season pulled the team down. What’s worse, the Braves took the division with just 88 wins. This should have been the year for the Mets to shine.
