what is luis rojas salary?

The sports personality began his journey coaching for minor league baseball teams. Then, he worked his way up to get promoted as the manager. Furthermore, the coach got much recognition after becoming New York Mets manager. But he could only serve for two seasons before getting farewell from the team.

But, what could be the cause of the former manager losing his job; let's find out in this biography.

Brandon Hyde Biography - Baltimore Orioles' Manager

The baseball mentor was born Luis Emilio Rojas on September 1, 1981, in Santo Domingo. His baseball passion could be credited to his dad's legacy in the sport. Luis Rojas' father, Felipe Alou, played in MLB for over a decade and later managed Montreal Expos and San Francisco Giants. He is also inducted into the Caribbean and Canadian Baseball Hall of Fame.

Luis spent most of his summers with his dad, Felipe, going on ballparks with him. He would also practice batting and take baseball lessons with him.

Likewise, Luis Rojas' mother, Elsa Brens, was Felipe's third wife and worked as a secretary for Dominican Summer League owners. She always supported his career choice.

Luis has a brother named Felipe Jose. He also has nine half-siblings from his father's other marriages. Moreover, Rojas' half-brother, Moises Alou, former MLB outfielder, has been the most influential figure in his life. The latter also gave him his first managerial job.

The former baseball manager graduated from a private catholic school. Afterward, he signed a $300,000 worth of contract with Baltimore Orioles in 1999.

Rojas played as a third baseman for some period before moving to Miami Marlins and Montreal Expos. He also played as an infielder and outfielder for Gulf Coast League Expos in 2004. Unfortunately, he had to quit playing due to shoulder issues.

Nevertheless, Luis Rojas' net worth must have benefitted from his short but influential career as a professional baseballer.

The athlete then began coaching for Dominican Summer League Nationals in 2006. New York Mets hired Felipe Alou's son as their Dominican League affiliate team's coach in 2007.

The baseball coach was later promoted to guide the minor league team, Savannah Sand Gnats. He led the team to win the 2013 South Atlantic League Championship.

The continuous success led Rojas to become St. Lucie Mets' manager. He showcased his true potential by leading the minor league team to the top of the MILB division.

Eventually, the baseball mentor made his MLB managerial debut with Mets in January 2020. However, the club's performance went downhill during his first season, and they finished last in the 2020 season.

The Mets couldn't bring favorable results in the 2021 season. As a result, the team declined Luis' contract option for 2022.

Afterward, the former manager showed his gratitude for the Mets on his social media account. Additionally, he also showed his understanding of the club's decision due to baseball's result-oriented nature.

Only a month after his dismissal, New York Yankees hired the former MLB manager as their third-base coach.

Although Luis lost his managerial job, he must have been paid handsomely during his serving years. He initially had signed a two-year-long contract with club options through at least 2023. Moreover, the contract likely must have been worth millions of dollars.

Likewise, the athlete's new signing with Yankees must also bring a substantial income. Hence, with the new position, Luis Rojas' net worth will increase more in the upcoming days.

Another individual who has turned from pro baseballer to coach and manager is The Milwaukee Brewers' manager, Craig Counsell.

The former MLB manager's professional life has always been an open book for the public. On the contrary, very little is known about Felipe Alou's son's romantic affairs.

Nonetheless, from what we know, the sportsperson is married to his partner, Laura Rojas. But there isn't much information regarding her background and family.

Luis Rojas' wife, Laura Rojas, seems to be a private person with no desire for the limelight. However, she does show up during matches to show her husband's team support.

The pair are also loving parents to their son, Luis Felipe Rojas. The latter might also follow in his dad's footsteps and pursue a baseball career in the future.
