Beltran will be at Yankee Stadium on Wednesday as the sixth candidate to formally interview with general manager Brian Cashman and a group of Yankees executives, MLB.com has confirmed.

The recently retired outfielder and designated hitter has consistently expressed an interest in managing. "according to http://m.yankees.mlb.com/news/article/262483668/carlos-beltran-to-interview-with-yankees/
"With the experience that I have in the game of baseball, the times I've played, different teams that I've played for, I've gotten to see different ways to do things in the clubhouse and for the players," Beltran said earlier this month. "How to motivate them, how to impact them in a way where they continue to improve. I would love that opportunity, for sure." "according to http://m.yankees.mlb.com/news/article/262483668/carlos-beltran-to-interview-with-yankees/
He could fill a key requirement of the Yankees' vacancy. Cashman said that the Yankees parted ways with manager Joe Girardi due to issues with "communication and connectivity" in the clubhouse. "according to http://m.yankees.mlb.com/news/article/262483668/carlos-beltran-to-interview-with-yankees/
Beltran, with whom Cashman has said that he enjoys a close personal relationship, would figure to have no such issues. "according to http://m.yankees.mlb.com/news/article/262483668/carlos-beltran-to-interview-with-yankees/
The switch-hitting slugger was widely viewed as an influential coach-like player on several teams, including this year's Astros. While with the Yankees from 2014-16, Beltran was often credited by the team's younger players as having a sizable impact both on and off the field. "according to http://m.yankees.mlb.com/news/article/262483668/carlos-beltran-to-interview-with-yankees/
In Spring Training 2016, Beltran approached Yankees clubhouse manager Rob Cucuzza to request a locker next to prospect Aaron Judge, viewing the future American League Rookie of the Year as his heir apparent in right field. "according to http://m.yankees.mlb.com/news/article/262483668/carlos-beltran-to-interview-with-yankees/
In his post-playing career, Beltran has said he wants to spend more time with his wife, Jessica, and their three children, but his family is based in New York, making the Yanks one of the few ideal jobs for his situation. "according to http://m.yankees.mlb.com/news/article/262483668/carlos-beltran-to-interview-with-yankees/
"I had the opportunity to play with the Yankees for three years and I enjoyed myself, big-time," Beltran said. "I appreciated the way I was treated; my family, the relationship with Brian. I don't know what they're looking for. Experience as a manager, I don't have that. But I have the passion for the game, I have the knowledge of being able to play the game for a long time. I get along well with the players, with my teammates; I've always taken that to heart, trying to impact my teammates in a positive way. "according to http://m.yankees.mlb.com/news/article/262483668/carlos-beltran-to-interview-with-yankees/
"I would not discount anything; you're talking about the New York Yankees. You're not just talking about any team in baseball. Not taking anything away from any other organization, but the Yankees are a team that anyone would love to put on that uniform and manage that ballclub." according to http://m.yankees.mlb.com/news/article/262483668/carlos-beltran-to-interview-with-yankees/
