Beltran Says He Won’t Pursue Mets Managerial Role, Despite Open Interview Option

Carlos Beltrán, recently inducted into the Mets Hall of Fame, confirmed he would not rule out interviewing for the Mets’ managerial vacancy, a position he was hired for in 2020 but never managed. In a recent interview, the former outfielder expressed a lack of enthusiasm for the role, suggesting that while he remains open to the idea, it is not a priority. Beltrán’s brief tenure as a non‑fielding manager in 2020 ended before he could oversee a single game. His comments imply that the Mets will likely continue exploring other candidates for the job, as the organization seeks a manager who can immediately take the field. The team’s search will therefore remain active as it evaluates alternatives.
