On Monday, Carlos Beltrán shared in an interview that he had conversations with the Mets about becoming manager after the departure of Carlos Mendoza. However, Beltrán said “I just didn’t feel it was the right thing for me to do.”
This comes after heavy speculation about Beltrán potentially becoming the next manager of the Mets, after he was hired in November of 2019 but never managed a game.
