Former Astros Slugger Beltran Takes Job in Mets Front Office

Carlos Beltran, a former standout with the Houston Astros, will be leaving the YES Network to join the New York Mets in an unspecified role, according to a report in the New York Post.

Beltran will report to General Manager Billy Eppler.

Beltran has yet to sign a contract but the deal is close, according to the report.

In 2019, Beltran also worked as a special assistant to the New York Yankees GM Brian Cashman.

Slightly more than three years ago, Beltran was named the Mets’ manager. But he stepped down in the aftermath of the Astros’ sign-stealing scandal.
