Carlos Beltran's tenure as manager of the New York Mets has come to an end before beginning his first season with the team because of his involvement in the Houston Astros sign-stealing scandal.
Per The Athletic's Ken Rosenthal, Beltran is stepping down.
Beltran was hired by the team in November as a first-time coach following a 20-year playing career, including seven seasons with the Mets.
However, questions arose about his involvement in a sign-stealing operation that occurred while he was a player with the Astros in 2017, a team that went onto win the World Series title.
