You have to answer for Santino, Carlos (Beltran).

Carlos Beltran can taint both New York teams:

In December 2018, the Yankees hired Beltran as a special adviser to general manager Brian Cashman.

On November 1, 2019, the Mets hired Beltran as their manager to replace Mickey Callaway, signing him to a three-year contract with a club option for a fourth year.
_________________________

So Beltran worked for Cashman for the year 2019 during which Cashman continued to think that the Astros cheated against the Yankees, including when Beltran played for Houston in 2017. Beltran ended his playing career by going 0 for 3 in the 2017 World Series win over the Dodgers.

We now have at least implications that Beltran helped organize the Astros cheating: stealing signs improperly. Apparently he worked with Astros coach Alex Cora, who became Red Sox manager in 2018 and won the World Series. Cora resigned yesterday under pressure of impending implication that he was the primary non player involved in organizing the Astros player driven rule breaking.

Did Cashman ever ask Beltran about this and, if so, did Beltran confirm the cheating and, if so, did Beltran offer details?

Did Beltran without being asked offer information about Astros cheating and ways to thwart it? Yankees were eliminated from the tournaments as follows:

2017: Astros

2018: Red Sox

2019: Astros

Beltran was being paid by the Yankees in 2019. Even if it was not for this purpose, Beltran should have shown some sense of obligation to his employer and tried to protect the Yankees against the improper activity of Beltran's final MLB playing team, the 2017 World Series Champion Houston Astros.

This is aside from whether the Mets could/should void Beltran's contract for lying and/or withholding info. Did Met ownership or management even try to determine the involvement of Carlos Beltran in the Astros sign stealing project?

Carlos Beltran cheating mess is perfect storm that can get a lot worse for Mets By Joel Sherman January 15, 2020 New York Post

Beltran knew what was being done was illegal. He and the Astros did it anyway. He cheated. He knew it. Period.

Brodie Van Wagenen made a big deal about “trust” in explaining why he was hiring Beltran in early November. How does that read today for the organization? Did Beltran tell the Mets the truth about his involvement with the Astros at the outset of these revelations? Or did they have to find out from the Commissioner’s Office what he told investigators? How is that trust today, before pitchers and catchers have even reported?

Mark Teixeira: Mets must fire Carlos Beltran after cheating scandal By Justin Tasch January 15, 2020 New York Post

A former Yankees teammate (2014-2016) of Carlos Beltran’s says the Mets must fire Beltran after their new manager was named in MLB’s report on the Astros’ cheating scandal...

“I don’t think the Mets have a choice, either. They have to fire Carlos Beltran,” Mark Teixeira said on ESPN’s “Get Up!” on Wednesday...

Beltran was the only player named in MLB’s report. Nobody who was a player at the time is getting disciplined as a result of cooperation with the investigation...

Teixeira said: "Beltran ... cheated in the worst possible way during a World Series run. You cannot have that guy lead your team. The New York papers … will eat up Carlos Beltran every single day until he’s fired.”
