Yankees reportedly out of Beltran Sweepstakes

For now anyway.

Appears it's Mets vs. Astros. And the Astros have Texas taxes and cost of living on their side. Houston has until Saturday to reach an agreement, or they have no hope of signing him until May 1 (in other words, no hope at all).

If he does come back, I hope they move Biggio back to 2B and play Lane every day.

Damn, I actually thought he was a much better prospect then Johnson. I know they need pitching, but Beltran was the way to go.

I think Beltran may end up being overpaid, but I still want him on the Astros because their need for a good defensive centerfielder is dire.
