Carlos Beltrán spoke publicly for the first time about his role in the Astros' infamous sign-stealing scheme
“Well, if [the Astros front office] got the letter, they knew, but they never shared it with us,” Beltrán said. “Nobody said anything to us, you know, nobody said anything. I wish somebody would’ve said something.” in 2019, Beltrán said that the team did not use electronic methods to steal signs, which was later proven false. Beltrán was hired to be the Mets manager in November, but lost his job two months later after his role in the scandal became known.
Former Astros and current Tigers manager A.J. Hinch, Red Sox manager Alex Cora and Astros president Jeff Luhnow all lost their jobs as well. Beltrán said that, at the time, he and the rest of the team didn’t believe they were crossing a line with their methods. He also expressed frustration that he was the only Astros player to be named in MLB’s report after the league concluded its investigation into the matter.
“The part that bothered me about that is that, you know, when I sit down to cooperate with them [MLB], they said to me, ‘We’re not going against the players. We’re going against … field personnel, front office and organization,’” Beltrán said. “And the fact that I’m the only player named in that report? That’s the part that I don’t understand. Everyone gets immunity except Carlos Beltrán? I don’t get it.
