The Beltre rumors have been plentiful, especially with the Adrian Gonzalez to Boston trade rumors. By the way, that deal looks like it’s off now. The Athletics appeared to have shown interest in Beltre, but that has since changed. Unfortunately, Roch Kubatko reports that the Andy MacPhail said not to expect Beltre in Baltimore.
UPDATE: Andy MacPhail told MLB Network Radio that he was not interested in Adrian Beltre now that the Orioles had acquired a third baseman.
What do you think? Do you want Beltre in Baltimore
It's not a matter if the O's want Beltre. He doesn't want them. I guess they could overpay for him- significantly. That just seems to lead down a slippery slope.
See the Nationals and Jayson Werth
Yep. If they want him, they can get him.
The O's need to get off the snide and make a move on someone of importance. They have already lost out on two to three people they have listed highly. They cannot afford to sit on their hands any longer. They will have to overpay someone, might as well be Beltre because there isn't much left.
yes itd be great to have him in baltimore! PLEASE GET HIM. Mark Reynolds can move to first base or left field.
2nd- Brian Roberts
RF- Nick Markakis
C- Matt Wieters
1st- Mark Reynolds
3rd- Adrian Beltre
DH- Luke Scott
CF- Adam Jones
SS- Manny Macahdo
LF- Felix Pie
Megan, I love your optimism of seeing Wieters batting 3rd and Machado in the lineup. I'm hoping by the time we see Machado, the O's have Xavier Avery leading off and playing CF and LJ Hoes playing 2nd.
