Of the dozens of meetings that took place over the past month regarding the Mets’ managerial opening, you could argue the most important one concerned a reunion and a reassurance.
“We had a very nice conversation,” Jessica Beltran told The Post of her get-together with Mets owners Fred and Jeff Wilpon, her first in over eight years. “We wanted to make sure that everything was left in the past and we’d move forward. It was very nice.”
The Mets introduced Jessica’s husband, Carlos Beltran, as their new manager on Monday, all of the standard festivities and hyperbole accompanying the announcement, and the shock from Friday’s news of a three-year agreement still hadn’t fully dissipated.
