At noon today the New York Mets will announce that Carlos Beltran has been traded to the San Francisco Giants. The Mets’ trading Beltran has been expected for weeks due to his impending free agency at the end of the 2011 season.
The key for the Mets in this deal was to get a young starter pitching to build their depth for the future. They did this by receiving the Giants 2010 first round pick in Zach Wheeler. Wheeler is project as 1 or 2 starter, and the Mets needed this type of young starter in their rotation.
However, if I were a Mets fan I would be a little skeptical of this deal. The Giants are fantastic at scouting pitching. In my book they are the best in baseball. They have homegrown talents Tim Lincecum, Madison Bumgarder, Jonathan Sanchez, and Matt Cain. Everyone are solid rotation guys that came up through the Giants minor league system. This organization knows what good pitching looks like. So why were the Giants willing to give up a first rounder in Zack Wheeler for a two month rental in Carlos Beltran? A very good question for the Mets organization to answer.
Beltran will help the Giants immediately. He is used to being a rental, as he was during the 2005 season when the Houston Astros went to the World Series. He also an excellent clubhouse guy and will prove to be another strong leader for the Giants down the stretch. Here’s an example, realizing that a trade was about to go down Beltran took every Mets player out to eat at Jeff Ruby’s Steakhouse in Cincinatti. Beltran is a huge pickup for the Giants even it’s only two months.
