New York Mets to Retire Carlos Beltrán’s Number

Adam Wells at Bleacher Report:

In addition to being inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame this year, Carlos Beltrán will be honored by the New York Mets in 2026.

Per Mike Puma of the New York Post, the Mets plan to retire Beltrán's No. 15 jersey during the 2026 season.

Beltrán is walking into the Hall of Fame with a Mets cap and having his Mets number retired, despite zero World Series titles with the Mets and being fired as their manager before he ever managed a single game for them (a result of his role in the Astros cheating scandal).

Perhaps they’re retiring his uniform number because everyone’s too embarrassed to wear it.
