Carlos Beltran being courted by Red Sox, Yankees, Astros, Blue Jays
Free agent outfielder Carlos Beltran is drawing the most interest from the Boston Red Sox, Toronto Blue Jays, New York Yankees and Houston Astros, according to Rob Bradford of WEEI.
Beltran finished the year with the Texas Rangers, who won't be involved in the bidding, Bradford added. The veteran slugger will turn 40 in April, but he proved he can still bring it at the plate this past season with 29 home runs and 93 RBI's in 151 games for both the Rangers and Yankees. He split time evenly between right field (67 games) and the DH spot (73 games).
Beltran slashed an impressive .295/.337/.513 through 593 plate appearances with both the Rangers and Yankees this past season, while his .358 wOBA was his best since 2013 and his .217 ISO was his best since 2012. He turned in 29 taters and 93 RBI's in 151 games.
