The Mets fired Mickey Callaway on October 3, and have spent the last month interviewing a long list of candidates to take over their dugout for the next few years, at least. In the end, it reportedly came down to two candidates with no experience in Carlos Beltrán and Eduardo Pérez. The former would ultimately get the job, as was reported and eventually announced on Friday. He’ll be formally introduced on Monday. This is a really interesting hire for a number of reasons. For one thing, Beltrán only retired two years ago, last playing in 2017 for the Astros.
