The New York Mets are outraged with their centerfielder Carlos Beltran and his decision to perform surgery on his own knee. The team had hoped Beltran would have sought the services of an actual sports medicine physician.

"I can't believe Carlos would do that," said an angered member of Mets management. "He had no idea what he was doing and could have cause some serious damage. I wish Carlos would have taken the time to discuss further options with our medical staff instead of taking things into his own hands. Literally. If he didn't want to utilize the Mets team physician that's one thing, but performing a surgery on yourself? That ludicrous!"

Beltran is shocked at the reaction by the team, and he says no one had any issue with what he was doing until they learned he had operated on himself.

"No one said to me 'Carlos, we don't want you to perform your own surgery,'" said Beltran. "If the Mets didn't want me to operate on myself, then someone from the organization should have just come out and said it."
