Beltran to Mets, At Least For Now
At least that's what Newsday says.
The first thought I have when the notion "Carlos Beltran" pops into my head is that I can't think of another player that people have described as a bona fide superstar, five-tool type who had at the time exactly one thirty-homer season under his belt. Seven years, $119 million. With the Pedro Martinez deal, the Mets have made one very high risk major deal (Martinez) and now add this huge contract to their books for the next seven years. I glad the Mariners decided not to get involved with Beltran. The Sexson and Beltre deals are looking pretty good right about now.

...and flushing it down with Crystal.
Who says Cammy gets moved? How about moving Beltran?
I hope Cammy gets moved, then maybe his trade value will suffer.
