Mike Wood's been out of baseball for two years. Beltran of course went to Houston, and has been a Met ever since his partial season as an Astro. This left Buck and Mark Teahen, who, as Thu, 05 Nov 2009 14:02:00 -0500 http://www.yardbarker.com/all_sports/article_external/And_the_Last_Royal_Standing_from_the_Infamous_Carlos_Beltran_Trade_Is/1506693 http://www.yardbarker.com/all_sports/article_external/And_the_Last_Royal_Standing_from_the_Infamous_Carlos_Beltran_Trade_Is/1506693 http://www.yardbarker.com/all_sports/article_external/And_the_Last_Royal_Standing_from_the_Infamous_Carlos_Beltran_Trade_Is/1506693 http://www.yardbarker.com/media/5/2/52d3a7949e6032466d32f4775505c9016943eed1/small/PicImg_New_York_Mets_1b18.jpg Ben Maller is at it again, according to his Twitter account his site for Fox Sports is the #1 news aggregator on the web. The Fox Sports radio host, has a great site for finding information from around the league but he seems to be a Mets hater. In May he called our corner outfield a bunch of scrubs when Omar didn't sign Manny; at the time the outfield consisted of Beltran, Church and Sheffield. Now in responding to an article from WEEI about Beltran not being traded, "Ben's Take...

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 every indication that they will be active in adding pieces this offseason (New York is expected to get involved in ...

The twitter account was carlosbeltran15 which linked to a very cool Beltran web site. Apparently Beltran's staff has opened a twitter account and Beltran will be posting on it from time to time...Guys we want to let you know Carlos's staff runs this Twitter account.

Beltran was one of the top players in baseball at the time and could seemingly do it all on the baseball field (hit for power, steal bases, gold glove defense). There's no doubt that Beltran was due for a huge contract, but what cemented his huge contract was his absolutely ridiculous performance in the 2004 playoffs. For three weeks in October, Beltran was the best player in baseball and sho...

Beltran has increased his value to this team by becoming a clubhouse leader and has really...

I appreciate Reyes efforts to return, but lets face it, the season is over and he's to valuable to risk further injury. Quite frankly I don't trust the Mets staff to give him the green light anyway."He has a good day and then he has two bad days. It's just not getting better," Chris...
