The baseball world is talking about Carlos Beltran, the Mets are talking about a street.
Mets COO Jeff Wilpon was asked about the sign-stealing controversy involving Beltran — who stepped down as Mets manager — during his appearance at a ceremony celebrating the renaming of Mike Piazza Drive near the Mets spring training facility in Port St. Lucie. Wilpon responded with the tone-deafness that the franchise has become famous for.
“Does that have to do with the investigation? No, sorry. We are talking about Mike Piazza Drive today,” when a reporter asked Wilpon about it in a media scrum following the event.
