Ken Rosenthal of FOXSports.com reports that Carlos Beltran is deciding between the Cardinals, Indians and Blue Jays.
In other words, the Red Sox and Rays are out of the mix. With multiple teams interested, it's likely he ends up with a three-year deal worth more than $10 million per season. Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch was told Thursday that the Cardinals are the "leading candidate" to sign him. Beltran, who turns 35 in April, batted .300 with a .910 OPS, 22 home runs and 84 RBI in 142 games this past season between the Mets and Giants. Aside from Prince Fielder, he's the best bat left on the market.
