Buster Olney of ESPN reports that the New York Mets are “wavering” on manager Carlos Beltran.
The Mets and Beltran have yet to release statements or speak publicly about the report MLB released on the 2017 Houston Astros’ scandal that contained Beltran’s name in it. The then-Astros’ outfielder/DH was not suspended or punished due to the fact he was a player at the time.
A.J. Hinch and Jeff Luhnow (both received one-year suspensions) were fired by the Astros while A.J. Cora and the Boston Red Sox parted ways before he received his punishment from the league.
It remains to be seen whether or not Beltran will be fired or retained, but the 42-year-old will be entering the first season of a three-year manager deal that includes a fourth-year option with the Mets in 2020.
