Beltran
The Red Sox will be looking to upgrade the offense and the outfield, if Jason Bay isn't part of that equation they maybe calling Omar to inquire about Carlos Beltran.It seems like at least once an off-season we hear a Beltran to Boston rumor, this is nothing more then speculation by the Boston Herald and I don't put much into but I sure it's not the last time Beltran's name is brought up in Bean town.I've said before the Mets should be willing to listen to offers for Carlos Beltran, but there's no way they will be offered a package that is worth what he provides for this team, making him untouchable...One situation that bears close monitoring is Carlos Beltran with the New York Mets.The Big Apple’s other team has descended back into the depths of mediocrity the past two years. There has not been a word about the team going into rebuilding mode, but Beltran, arguably the best defensive center fielder in the game the last few years, has $18.5 million left on ea...

Red Sox To Make Offer For Carlos Beltran?

On Sunday, I was surprised to read an article from Michael Silverman of the Boston Herald which started out as a knock on Red Sox centerfielder Jacoby Ellsbury, who has fallen out of his good graces because of his UZR rating. His column takes a surprising twist when he suggests that Carlos Beltran would be a [...]

Trade Wright he can't handle Citi field

Ben Maller is at it again, according to his Twitter account his site for Fox Sports is the #1 news aggregator on the web.

In case you were worried: Mets not fielding offers for Beltran

A few days ago in the Boston Herald, columnist Michael Silverman pitched the idea of Carlos Beltran going to the Boston Red Sox. It was just a suggestion, but the Full Count blog squashed any rumors before they could get started. From WEEI’s Full Count blog… A major-league source said that the Mets would not even entertain the idea of trading Beltran. The Mets are instead giving...

Carlos Beltran Not On Trading Block

The idea of trading center fielder Carlos Beltran will not be entertained by the Mets, according to a source of WEEI's Alex Speier.  Beltran's knee injury limited him to 357 plate appearances this year, but that doesn't serve as motivation for the Mets to subtract an important piece for 2010.  Beltran has a full no-trade clause, also. Beltran, a Scott Boras client...

Something Else of Manny’s That Doesn’t Sell in Boston

Manny Ramirez dropped the price of his Boston Condo from $8.5 million to $7.9 million. Maybe if the Red Sox give Jason Bay a big contract he can move it.

This Passes for Journalism?

Look out Ken Rosenthal, somebody is looking to dethrone you from being baseball's worst reporter with this: The Red Sox are going to be looking to upgrade their offense this winter and have apparently decided not to try to re-sign Jason Bay- whose rep, Scott (Avenging Agent) Boras, has had a long, acrimonious history with them, most recently on display during last winter&...

Odds & Ends: St. Claire, Bay, Angels

Links for Tuesday... Chat today, 2pm CST. Kerry Wood replied, "Never say never" when asked on ESPN 1000's Waddle and Silvy show about returning to the Cubs after his Indians contract expires.  I was surprised the Cubs didn't offer Wood arbitration a year ago.

Padres will need to move Adrian Gonzalez ?

I don't know what to make of this, the Gonzalez information comes in the same article in which Bill Madden said Jason Bay's agent is Scott Boras which simply isn't true ( go here for Bay's actual agent comments on WEEI). It wasn't just that he named Boras but insinuated that one of the reasons he may not re-sign with Boston could be in part be due to the agent...

Matt Holliday or Jason Bay: Who Do the Mets Need in Left Field?
