ROSENTHAL & MOROSI: BELTRAN SWEEPSTAKES NEARING A CLOSE – FOX Sports reporter and FOXSports.com senior MLB columnist Ken Rosenthal and FOXSports.com writer Jon Paul Morosi report that Carlos Beltran’s departure from the Mets is imminent. “The Giants have reached a tentative agreement to acquire outfielder Carlos Beltran from the New York Mets, major-league sources told FOXSports.com on Wednesday. Pending approval from Beltran and the commissioner’s office, the switch-hitting All-Star will go to San Francisco for top pitching prospect Zach Wheeler. The Mets will send some cash to the Giants in the deal.”

WHO’S GONNA PULL OFF THE BIGGEST DEAL? – The MLB trade deadline is rapidly approaching, begging the question ‘which GM will pull off the biggest deal?’ MLB on FOX reporter and FOXSports.com senior MLB columnist Ken Rosenthal says keep an eye on the Phillies’ Ruben Amaro Jr. “If there’s one thing we’ve learned about Amaro, it’s that he’s fearless,” said Rosenthal. “Fearlessness, in an increasingly cautious trading environment, is the new market inefficiency. Phillies owner David Montgomery seemingly has removed Amaro’s one restriction — the luxury-tax threshold — telling the Philadelphia Inquirer, ‘We will do whatever it takes.’” So at this point, it’s probably just a matter of which player Amaro wants most. It could be the Astros’ Hunter Pence. It could be the White Sox’s Carlos Quentin, one of the Padres’ relievers, or another player entirely. Rest assured, it will be someone, maybe even two someones.”
