We've already had a couple of managers for 2020. I was looking forward to Beltran giving it a shot and it's a shame he was caught up in that cheating fiasco.
When I heard of his replacement I said "WHO?".
So I had to do a little homework.
Here's the scoop:
Rojas played with the Baltimore Orioles (2000), Florida Marlins (2001-02) and Montreal Expos/Washington Nationals (2003-05) minor league systems.
Enters his 14th season with the Mets organization. Luis's first managing gig was with the Gulf Coast Mets in 2011.
He managed Savannah (A) of the South Atlantic League for three seasons from 2012-2014, guiding them to the South Atlantic League championship in 2013 and was named the South Atlantic League Manager of the Year in 2014.
Rojas managed St. Lucie (A) of the Florida State League from 2015-16 and led them to a second-half Florida State League South Division title.
Managed Binghamton (AA) during the 2017 and 2018 seasons, leading the Rumble Ponies to a 2017 playoff berth.

So he has some experience and some success managing. This move will either make the Wilpon's look typically cheap or ridiculously wise. I'm hoping for the latter.
