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, signed a seven-year, $119MM deal in January of 2005.  FanGraphs suggests he's already been worth $95.5MM in his five Mets seasons, with $76MM of that value coming in 2006-08.
