Carlos Beltran will never manage a game for the New York Mets.
Beltran and the Mets have decided to part ways after he was specifically named in Major League Baseball’s report as a key player in the Houston Astros sign-stealing scandal. Yahoo Sports’ Tim Brown reports that it’s a mutual decision between the Mets and the 42-year-old ex-outfielder:
Carlos Beltran has told the Mets it is best if he steps down. Looks like the direction this will take.

The Mets confirmed the move and said in a statement:
“We met with Carlos last night and again this morning and agreed to mutually part ways.
