The team said Beltran is expected to resume baseball activities in 12 weeks, a timetable that likely would keep him out for most of April -- maybe longer.
New York's first official workout for pitchers and catchers is a little more than five weeks away, on Feb. 20. The Mets open the season April 5 against Florida.
Apparently there is some controversy about whether Beltran should have had the surgery at all:
A person with knowledge of the situation said Beltran did not obtain advance written consent from the club to have the surgery, which was performed by his personal physician, Dr. Richard Steadman, in Colorado. The person spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the Mets didn't discuss the matter publicly.
Beltran's agent, Scott Boras, said the guarantee language in the slugger's contract requires advance written permission only for elective operations.
"This was necessary surgery, necessary surgery to work," Boras told The Associated Press.
The Mets might claim that the operation was elective.

So if I understand correctly, he could have had this surgery right after the season ended, and been fully recovered in time for the season.
But why do that when instead you can wait until the last possible moment, avoid discussions with management, and screw the team.
Apparently not, SHK:
The Mets said Beltran hadn't felt pain after the season ended or early in his offseason conditioning, but his symptoms "returned to the point where pre-spring training conditioning became too painful."
Or then again, SHK, maybe you're right:
Boras said Altchek had been examining Beltran once a month during the offseason. "Since the beginning of November, he was feeling discomfort and pain," Boras said. "They found some fragments in there that had to be removed."
Just keep in mind if you were in his shoes would you take a chance with the medical staff they have. I don't think so
Just to play devil's advocate, Beetz...
if it meant the possible voiding of a contract that owed me $17M per year-- yeah, eff it, they can have my knee.
For that price there are a few other things they can have
Heh heh.
