If the Mets want to make a run at Carlos Beltran, Mike Cameron won’t stand in the way.

Cameron revealed yesterday that he has told Met brass he would be willing to switch from center field to right if the Mets want to sign Beltran, the Astros’ free agent, to play center.

“If Beltran will come here, I’ll move to right field,” Cameron told The Post in a phone interview. Cameron said he told this to Omar Minaya, Jim Duquette and Jeff Wilpon in Atlanta a couple of weeks ago. He noted they did not ask him to move. Rather, he volunteered, even though he loves to play center and may win his third Gold Glove there today. But all Cameron wants to do is win, and he knows Beltran can help.

“That’s what I’m willing to do,” he said. “I’m willing to take that risk, moving to right field, having a chance to win and see what it’s like to win in New York and see if we can get this thing turned around.”

Most likely, Cameron’s selfless act will be moot, as Beltran is a longshot to come to Shea. But if the star free agent wants to play for the Mets, at least one obstacle is cleared.
