More heads will roll. MLB doesn't take cheating lightly.

Houston Astros general manager Jeff Luhnow and manager A.J. Hinch have
been fired after a Major League Baseball investigation held them
responsible for illegally stealing signs during the team’s 2017 World
Series run. Astros owner Jim Crane announced the dismissals an hour
after each were suspended for one year for their roles in a
sign-stealing scandal that also will cost the Astros their top two
picks in the next two drafts and a $5 million fine.

Commissioner Rob Manfred announced the punishments Monday, then Crane
followed by dismissing the GM and manager that won the franchise its
first World Series.

You have to believe at this point that Beltran is going to be released
since Boston has already released Corea

Hopefully the Mets history of cheapness will force them to keep Beltran despite the media frenzy...can you picture the Wilpons paying THREE managers simultaneously? :)

Well, he's gone...at least he's resigning, so I assume Mets don't have to pay him. Say hello to Collins for another year! Or maybe Rojas?

Why haven't the Mets signed Beltran? Boston brought back Cora
