Carlos Beltran Steps Down as Mets Manager Following Astros' Scandal

He becomes the third manager to lose his job as part of the ensuing fallout

After MLB disciplined the Houston Astros for using a center field camera to decode and communicate opponents’ pitching signs during their 2017 championship run, New York Mets manager Carlos Beltrán has reportedly resigned before managing a single game in Flushing. He becomes the third manager to lose his job as part of the ensuing fallout joining A.J. Hinch and Alex Cora. Beltrán was a member of the Astros’ championship team and the only player named in MLB commissioner Rob Manfred’s report. He was announced as the Mets manager on November 1 after the club fired Mickey Callaway at the conclusion of the 2019 season.
