Adrian Beltre = Red Sox
Written by Jay on January 5, 2010 – -
Well, it looks like rumors are about to become reality as Adrian Beltre is close to becoming a Red Sox. There have been a lot of speculations for quite a while with the third baseman and the Red Sox but it is said that they have come to an one-year agreement with a second year option.
The details are still being looked at but last time I read, the two agreed on a one-year deal worth $9 million and a second year option worth $5 million. The $5 million can possibly increase to $10 million based on incentives and I think the large one was plate appearances of 640 or more need to be reached.
Personally, I would have gone with the other Adrian on the market… Adrian Gonzalez, the free agent first baseman slugger and simply move Youkilis from first to third. But I guess the Red Sox was simply trying to improve the defense drastically as they were one of the worst in 2009.
But we’ll see what happens… nothing is official yet and Beltre has to pass a physical. I’m sure you guys heard about the Mike Lowell trade falling through the cracks!
