Report: Yankees Trade Carlos Beltran To Rangers

The New York Yankees are sending OF/DH Carlos Beltran to the Texas Rangers

The Cleveland Indians were also in the mix, but the Rangers won the bidding war. Dillon Tate was the Rangers' fourth overall pick in 2015. Tate has a poor 5.12 ERA in Class-A this season, but he was the No. 4 overall pick for a reason. The Yankees are also getting RHPs Eric Swanson and Nick Green. 

Swanson was a 8th round pick in the 2014 draft. He's 6-4 with a .343 ERA and a 1.25 WHIP at Single-A ball. Neither player is a Top 20 prospect for the Rangers. Green was a 35th round pick in the 2013 MLB Draft. He's still at low-A ball. 

The Rangers will likely play Beltran at DH. The team lost Prince Fielder for the season with a neck injury. Beltran is 39-years-old, but still producing at a high level. He's hitting .304 with 22 homers and 64 RBIs this year.
