The New York Mets are searching for a new manager after parting ways with Carlos Beltran, but fan-favorite David Wright is not going to replace him.

"I am not interested in coaching," Wright told Jon Heyman of MLB Network. "Full transparency I did accept a position as a coach on my daughter's three-to-four-year-old coed tee-ball team this spring."

Beltran was hired as the team's manager in November despite having no prior coaching experience, only an extended playing career that included parts of seven seasons with the Mets.
