Same thing for Beltran, but even less expected in return, ESPECIALLY because Beltran isn't projected to be a Type A or B FA next year, so there will be no draft pick compensation for him. I think the Mets are still quietly debating whether or not to re-sign Reyes, but Beltran is as good as gone.
They're paying him a lot of money, and when he signs elsewhere this offseason, he's not going to give the Mets anything in return, so they might as well go for a B level prospect and eat most (if not all) of the salary, or go for a C level prospect with some upside, and get some salary relief.
