In a world full of rumors and speculation, Yankees outfielder Carlos Beltran has been able to block out the noise and focus on baseball, while flourishing at the plate as New York’s most dependable and clutch hitter.
But the 39-year-old veteran hasn’t been given any confirmation by his employer that his time in the Bronx will continue this summer.
According to John Harper of the New York Daily News, moving Beltran before a star reliever should be the Yankees’ priority, and the best fit for Beltran could be in Northern Ohio with the Cleveland Indians, who have emerged as one of the hottest teams in baseball and can bring back a top prospect, per the report:
The Indians’ stunning 14-game winning streak, which has given them a big lead in the AL Central, should only make Cleveland more willing to pull off such a deal.
