Jose Reyes Thinks Carlos Beltran Should Totally Manage the Mets (and It’s Juicy)

Peeling back the layers of the New York Mets drama, we have former MLB star Jose Reyes throwing down some bold opinions that have the whole league buzzing. Apparently, he’s all in for Carlos Beltran to be the next manager of the Mets, and let me tell you, this could be the shake-up the team desperately needs (or maybe it’s just smoke and mirrors?).

You remember Beltran, right? The guy was a fan favorite from 2005 to 2011 and now plays the role of Special Assistant to the president of baseball ops—convenient timing, if you ask me. Reyes claims Beltran should step into the managerial hot seat after the recent split from Carlos Mendoza, whose 34-47 record wasn’t exactly winning hearts or games. Reyes is playing it diplomatically, calling Mendoza a great guy and a good manager, but let’s be real: with that kind of payroll, fans expect a major overhaul.

But wait, there’s more! Rumor has it that Albert Pujols, yes, the Hall of Famer himself, has his eyes on the Mets’ managerial gig too. Reyes hinted at it, but let’s not kid ourselves—if Beltran wants it, the Mets better have their phones at the ready. The stakes get even higher: Beltran’s No. 15 is set to be retired this season during his Hall of Fame induction. Now that’s a plot twist worthy of a Netflix series.

On a side note, Reyes also dished about OG Anunoby from the Knicks tossing out a ceremonial first pitch, and trust me, there’s a big reason Anunoby looks up to Reyes, adding another layer to this soap opera. In short, this Mets saga is unfolding with all the intrigue of a late-night thriller, and I can't tear my eyes away. Stay tuned, because the Mets drama is only heating up and I’m here for every twist!
