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