    If Beltran did in fact tell a few big lies he very well could be fired for that alone. Sympathy is between shit and syphilis in the dictionary. There will be many more worms crawling from the Boston/Houston cans before this situation is settled.

    I think the fallout will hit Beltran as well. I expect the Mets will end his tenure before it even starts.

    From a Nov 13th Bronx Pinstripes article:

    When Carlos Beltran was asked about Houston’s tampering earlier this week, he said the Astros were really only able to steal signs when men stood on second. During the game where he said Paxton was tipping though, there were no men on second when any of the runs scored.

    Cya Carlos, if the Mets have any sense; then Carlos will be the shortest tenure coach in MLB History...

    There will be much finger pointing and bickering during this season. Teams and players who are considered participants are going to catch hell from the press, fans and the like. If Reddick cried about playing right in Yankee Stadium then wait til '20. I'm no big fan of Chris Rose but when he stated yesterday that participants will have to "wear it in '20" he hit the nail on the head.

    As expected, Beltran out as Mets manager. What a disaster. I feel bad for the Mets here. They were deceived and lied to. All people involved should never work in baseball again.

    Both Porcello and Betances were on the losing side to Hoouston in the '17 Series. Once that scandal broke those two guys being current Mets would have absolutely no confidence in Beltran . Now we see the New York Mets striking out their chosen managerial choice.
