It was clear by the time that Carlos Beltran was interviewing for the Mets manager job that he was somehow involved with the Houston Astros being accused of stealing signs. I don\u2019t know what Carlos Beltran told General manager Brodie Van Wagenen about the investigation, but whatever he said, it didn\u2019t bother Van Wagenen at all. After hiring Beltran, Van Wagenen claimed that he didn\u2019t see how what Beltran did as a player for the Astros would affect his job as Mets manager. Well two months later, it did as Beltran and the Mets parted ways. It\u2019s clear that Beltran either lied or the Mets showed no concern. Regardless, the Mets have egg on their face.<\/p>\n
