In the aftermath of arguably the most controversial team-wide Major League Baseball scandal since the 1919 Black Sox, the New York Mets have been forced to part ways with manager Carlos Beltran before Beltran even had the chance to manage a game with the club.
What a sad and unfortunate week it has been for Major League Baseball and its clubs. After the managerial firings of AJ Hinch and Alex Cora, the writing was on the wall for the Mets and Carlos Beltran. Beltran was the only player from the 2017 team named in Rob Manfred’s report from his findings in the Houston Astros sign-stealing scandal.
