Carlos Beltran said Monday morning at Citi Field, “I can’t wait to rewrite our story with the New York Mets.” He now gets that opportunity as the 22nd manager in franchise history and there was never a doubt he was coming home.
Beltran, a nine-time All-Star, World Series champion with the Houston Astros, three-time Gold Glove winner and American League Rookie of the Year, said the Mets were the only team he considered to be a first time manager.
And what he said during the long interview process secured the deal.
