The sudden firings of Mets hitting coach Chili Davis and his assistant Tom Slater — which didn’t turn out to be so sudden when you thought about it — led one to immediately wonder if manager Luis Rojas’ job status was also tenuous.
Well, any speculation about Rojas can die right here. His job is safe, per sources.
Like Davis, Rojas is not under contract for next season. It’s too soon to say what his long-term future looks like with the team. But we can say definitively that he is not at all on the hot seat now.
