Mets to Retire Carlos Beltrán's No. 15 This Season

The New York Mets will retire Carlos Beltrán's number 15 in a ceremony during the 2026 season, according to reports from March 12, 2026. Beltrán was elected to the Hall of Fame in January 2026 and spent seven seasons with the Mets (2005–2011), making five All-Star teams and winning three Gold Gloves and two Silver Sluggers in New York. He is one of the franchise's most decorated players and will join other retired numbers in Citi Field history.

The ceremony will honor Beltrán's impact on the Mets and his place in baseball history. For AthX users, this is a legacy milestone rather than a roster move; dynamic pricing is driven by active MLB performance. The retirement is a reminder of the kind of career that can make a player a long-term fan and collector favorite.
