What happened: Carlos Beltrán reflected on his Hall of Fame election and the progress of his induction speech during an appearance with Siera Santos at FanaticsFest. He discussed his decision to enter Cooperstown as a member of the Mets.

Why it matters: The induction, set for next weekend, would make Beltrán the third Mets player and sixth Puerto Rican-born player enshrined in Cooperstown, tying his enshrinement directly to the franchise he chose to represent.

What to watch: Beltrán is scheduled for induction into the Hall of Fame next weekend.
