Carlos Beltran’s direct take on Jose Reyes’ arrest

Though Carlos Beltran already is working out and focusing on next season — which could be the last of his career — the early part of this offseason has been filled with off-field situations, including the arrest on domestic violence charges of former Mets teammate Jose Reyes, as well as the aftermath of CC Sabathia’s recent stint in alcohol rehab.

“I sent a message to support [Reyes],” Beltran said. “It’s very sad news what happened. … I consider him like a brother. He’s a joyous guy, so what happened really surprised me.”

Beltran, who was with Julio Franco on Wednesday for a fundraiser for Bronx Baseball Dreams in TriBeCa, said Reyes replied.
