Good morning, Mets fans!

Former Mets skipper Luis Rojas was given a second interview by the Marlins for their managerial role. The 41-year-old spent this past year as the third-base coach for the Yankees. While Rojas went just 103-119 (.464) during his time in Flushing, he’s had some success during his extensive experience as a minor-league skipper. Astros bench coach Joe Espada, Cardinals bench coach Skip Schumaker, and Rays bench coach Matt Quartoro are among the other remaining candidates.
