NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — The New York Mets will officially introduce former outfielder Carlos Beltran as their 22nd manager in franchise history Monday.
The nine-time All-Star outfielder has plenty of experience in New York. He played with the Mets from 2006-2011, and with the Yankees in 2014 and 2015.
Beltran, 42, has no previous managerial experience.
He’s been given a three year deal with the Mets that includes a club option for 2023.
Beltran was all-in with the Mets from the start of the search. He even declined interviews with the Chicago Cubs and San Diego Padres to prove he only wanted to be Mets manager.
