At a news conference this week, United States Attorney David Metcalf announced charges against 26 people in connection with an alleged bribery and point-shaving scheme to fix NCAA Division I men’s basketball games and Chinese Basketball Association games.

Beltrán, the smooth-swinging former outfielder who had two stints with the Houston Astros, was elected Tuesday to the Baseball Hall of Fame, gaining entry in his fourth year of eligibility on the writers’ ballot.

His candidacy included controversy from his final season in Houston. Beltrán was the lone player named in Major League Baseball’s report on the sign-stealing scheme the Astros used in 2017 en route to winning a World Series, a revelation that led to his dismissal as Mets manager in January 2020, before he had managed a game for the club, and deterred some Hall of Fame voters from supporting him during his initial years on the ballot.
