Quick Summary

Carlos Beltrán, whose number 15 was retired by the New York Mets on Saturday, spoke about potentially interviewing for the team’s managerial position but expressed uncertainty. He emphasized his current commitment to family and his baseball academy in Puerto Rico, suggesting these priorities make it difficult for him to seriously consider the role. Beltrán left the Mets manager job abruptly in 2020 due to the sign-stealing scandal involving the Astros, where he played from 2017 to 2018. He currently serves as a special assistant with the Mets front office and praised interim manager Andy Green’s performance since taking over for Carlos Mendoza earlier this year.

Story summary

Carlos Beltrán, former New York Mets manager and nine-time All-Star, was honored by having his number 15 retired during the team's home game on November 19, 2023. At this ceremony, Beltrán expressed hesitation about becoming the Mets' manager again despite being an obvious candidate due to his current role as an adviser to David Stearns, the president of baseball operations. He emphasized that managing is a "huge commitment," stating he enjoys his current responsibilities, including running the Carlos Beltrán Academy in Puerto Rico and spending time with his family. Beltrán was originally hired by the Mets on November 1, 2019, but left abruptly after 76 days due to controversies surrounding his involvement in the Houston Astros' sign-stealing scandal.
