Carlos Beltran Stepping
Down as Manager of
the New York Mets The Houston Astros sign-stealing scandal continues to claim casualties. The news of Beltran's departure comes
on the heels of the Boston Red Sox
parting ways with manager Alex Cora. Both Cora and Beltran were involved
in the intricate scheme to steal signs
from opposing teams in the 2017 season. The scheme involved using
trash cans and video cameras to
send out signals to hitters. The Astros fired Manager AJ Hinch and
GM Jeff Luhnow, both of whom are
suspended from MLB for one year. No active players from
the 2017 World Series-winning
Astros team have been disciplined. Beltran, who has since retired, is the only player named in MLB's investigation. The Mets signed Beltran Nov. 1 to a three-year
deal with an option for a fourth season.
It was his first job as a Major League manager.
