Red Sox, Yankees, & Orioles Interested In Carlos Beltran

4. Carlos Beltran, OF, free agent — The Red Sox are confirmed to have made contact with Beltran, per a New York Post report, as have the Yankees and Orioles. The Red Sox have long coveted Beltran, who was on their list the offseason in which they acquired Carl Crawford. The plan would be to move Shane Victorino from right field to center and play Beltran in right or even left, a bit risky at an age (36) where he should be DH-ing more. That’s why New York or Baltimore would be more ideal for Beltran, unless he can play some first base.
