After weeks of speculation, the Mets have made their decision: Carlos Beltran will be the team’s new manager, The Post’s Joel Sherman confirmed on Friday.
Beltran, 42, a former MLB outfielder for the Mets and Yankees, outlasted several other candidates over multiple rounds of interviews to be Mickey Callaway’s replacement. It will be his first managerial job after having spent the last two seasons as a Yankees special assistant to general manager Brian Cashman.
GM Brodie Van Wagenen chaired the three rounds of interviews conducted by the Mets, with the third round attended by owner Fred Wilpon.
