The Houston Astros' sign-stealing scandal has claimed another victim.
Manager Carlos Beltran and the New York Mets' have agreed to mutually part ways in the wake of his involvement with Houston's sign-stealing operation in 2017, the team announced Thursday.
Beltran's exit comes just two days after the Boston Red Sox parted ways with manager Alex Cora and three days after the Astros fired general manager Jeff Luhnow and manager A.J. Hinch.

Beltran was the only player named in Major League Baseball's report on the Astros, which implicated Cora -- Houston's bench coach at the time -- as one of the masterminds of the operation.
Cora also suggested last June that Beltran, a fellow Puerto Rico native and one of his close friends, helped the New York Yankees steal signs as a special advisor to general manager Brian Cashman.
Beltran won't be punished for anything he did with the Yankees, but his Mets career is over before it even began, as New York just hired the 42-year-old to a three-year contract last November.
Now, Beltran joins Cora and Hinch among the ranks of the unemployed.
