Carlos Beltran’s Hall of Fame Candidacy Amid Sign-Stealing Scandal

Carlos Beltrán, despite his involvement in the Astros sign-stealing scandal during the 2017 World Series, was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in his fourth year on the ballot, receiving 84.2% of the vote. He acknowledged that the scandal negatively impacted his reputation and hindered his managerial career, but he still feels respected within the game. Beltrán expressed a desire to manage in the future and remains active with the Mets as a special advisor. He will be enshrined alongside Andruw Jones and Jeff Kent in July.
