Is Mets jersey No. 15 about to become available again for whomever in the organization wants it?
The next potential domino in the Astros’ illegal sign-stealing caper on Wednesday was Carlos Beltran, who remained in limbo as Mets officials attempted to determine their next move.
Beltran, who played for the Astros in 2017 and was named in commissioner Rob Manfred’s report this week as a player involved in the sign-stealing — which involved electronic surveillance — could become the third manager to lose his job because of the scheme. Astros manager A.J. Hinch was fired by owner Jim Crane on Monday after receiving a one-year suspension from Manfred.
