The field of managerial candidates for the Yankees continues to narrow, as MLB.com's Mark Feinsand reports that Carlos Beltran is out of the running. The club has not confirmed.
Beltran, 40, was one of six finalists for the Yankees' manager spot, following former skipper Joe Girardi. The nine-time All-Star was the sixth and final candidate to interview Wednesday, just one month after hoisting his first World Series trophy as a player with the Astros. Beltran had viewed himself as an auxiliary coach of sorts during his 2 1/2 years with the Yankees from 2014-16, and he was hopeful that experience would raise his profile as someone who could communicate well with players.
