A former Yankees teammate of Carlos Beltran’s says the Mets must fire Beltran after their new manager was named in MLB’s report on the Astros’ cheating scandal.
Mark Teixeira, who played with Beltran in the Bronx for three years, says the Mets need to dump Beltran just as the Red Sox canned Alex Cora and the Astros pink-slipped A.J. Hinch.
“I don’t think the Mets have a choice, either. They have to fire Carlos Beltran,” Teixeira said on ESPN’s “Get Up!” on Wednesday. “The only reason Beltran wasn’t punished as a bigger part of this was because of that immunity … it’s really a loophole for Carlos Beltran because he retired immediately after that World Series.
