After manager Luis Rojas had his option declined and was offered a role elsewhere in the organization, it appears numerous other Mets coaches will have a similar fate.
According to multiple reports, New York is continuing a major shakeup within the coaching staff, as hitting coach Hugh Quattlebaum and assistant hitting coach Kevin Howard, who both took over after Chili Davis was fired earlier this season, are in talks to stay with the franchise, but in other roles come next season. According to MLB.com’s Anthony DiComo, pitching coach Jeremy Hefner is also in talks with the front office about staying with the organization, either in his current role as pitching coach or in another.
Per SNY’s Andy Martino, bench coach Dave Jauss, bullpen coach Ricky Bones, first base coach Tony Tarasco, third base coach Gary Disarcina and assistant pitching coaches Jeremy Accardo and Ricky Meinhold have all been told that they are free to seek jobs elsewhere.

New York spent much of the first half of the 2021 season in first place, but collapsed in the second half to miss the playoffs for the fifth straight time. With team president Sandy Alderson searching for a new president of baseball operations, the team is clearly wiping the slate clean for their new hire to oversee the construction of a new coaching staff.
