Report: Mets bring back Beltran for front-office role
The New York Mets are giving former star Carlos Beltran another shot.
New York is adding Beltran to its front office to serve under general manager Billy Eppler, sources told Jon Heyman, Joel Sherman, and Andrew Marchand of the New York Post.
Carlos Beltran has not yet signed a contract to work for the Mets, but the sides have agreed that he will work as an assistant under GM Billy Eppler in baseball operations. It’s far enough down the line that he told YES today he was leaving.

The club hired Beltran to be the team's manager in November 2019, but he was fired in January 2020 because of his role in the Houston Astros' sign-stealing scandal.
Beltran worked as a New York Yankees broadcaster for YES Network during the 2022 campaign.
The 45-year-old played for the Mets for seven seasons during a 20-year career that included nine All-Star selections, three Gold Gloves, Rookie of the Year honors, and a World Series ring in 2017.
