Adrian Beltre was back in Texas, still with the Rangers on Wednesday after a road trip that ended on the same day as the non-waiver trade deadline.
That doesn't necessarily mean that baseball's active career hits leader will finish this season, the last on his contract and maybe the last of his Hall of Fame-caliber career, with the last-place Rangers.
The possibility remains that, in the right situation, Beltre could get dealt to a contending team in August for a shot at finally winning a World Series title.
"More or less knowing where I'm going to be for the next -- who knows," Beltre said after the non-waiver deadline passed Tuesday when the Rangers were in Arizona.
