Reggie Jackson endorses Carlos Beltran for Mets managerial job

One October legend would like to see the Mets hire another for their vacant managerial job.

“Carlos Beltran is just a classy act, loves baseball, knows baseball, a good deep thinker and I think just the right mix with understanding analytics and how the game should be played,” Reggie Jackson told The Post on Wednesday.

“He is either going to manage now or a year or two from now. He is going to be selected because he is desirable. He is a desirable character and personality and person, and he was a great player.”

Beltran, who played for the Mets from 2005-11, is among the four remaining known candidates to replace Mickey Callaway.
