Cards sign Beltran
According to Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, the Cardinals have reached a two-year, $26 million contract with free agent outfielder Carlos Beltran.
Beltran, 34, batted .300 with a .910 OPS and 22 home runs in 142 games this past season for the Mets and Giants, and should help replace some of the offense lost in the Albert Pujols departure. He'll likely open the year in right field, but could move to center once Allen Craig recovers from his offseason knee surgery. It's a nice, short-term risk for the Redbirds, who will hope for good health from their injury-prone lineup in 2012.
