Carlos Beltran steps down as Mets manager amid Astros cheating scandal.
Pete Alonso’s reaction to the controversial call at the plate to end the game, Omar Narvaez shares his interpretation of the rule & Jose Butto on his performance following 1-0 loss.
It comes less than three months after appointing him manager and just days after MLB confirmed his involvement in the Astros’ cheating saga as a player in 2017. The Mets had been debating Beltran’s future since Monday and were conflicted on what to do, according to The Post’s Joel Sherman. Beltran met with Mets top officials on Wednesday night and again Thursday morning to find a path to salvage his job, but were unable to find a suitable path.
Beltran, 42, had been on shaky ground since the league revealed Monday that he played a pivotal role in the Astros’ sign-stealing scandal, as a player during the 2017 championship season.
“At a meeting this morning with Jeff and Brodie we mutually agreed to part ways. I’m grateful to them for giving me the opportunity, but we agreed this decision is in the best interest of the team,” Beltran said in a statement released by the team. “I couldn’t let myself be a distraction for the team. I wish the entire organization success in the future.”
