Beltrán, Jones, Kent Inducted; Kent via Era Committee

Carlos Beltrán is set to be inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 2026 alongside Andruw Jones and Jeff Kent, capping a 20-year career that began with a Rookie of the Year season for the Royals and included later stints with the Mets and Yankees. In reflecting on his journey, Beltrán recalled a pivotal Cooperstown moment with George Brett in 1999 and addressed the 2017 sign-stealing stigma as part of his Hall of Fame narrative.
