MLB Manager Rumors: Who Will Be Astros, Mets, Red Sox New Coach?

MLB coaching carousel continues as Carlos Beltrán was the latest manager to leave an organization in the wake of the Astros' sign-stealing scandal.

Three former MLB managers have been removed from their roles in the wake of the Astros' sign-stealing scandal, with Carlos Beltrán becoming the latest to do so as he parted ways with the Mets on Thursday. And New York isn't the only team with a sudden managerial opening.

Astros owner Jim Crane fired former manager AJ Hinch on Monday, and the Red Sox did the same to ex-manager Alex Cora on Tuesday. Cora was the Astros bench coach in their run to the 2017 World Series.
