An industry source confirmed to WEEI.com’s Rob Bradford that the Red Sox “really like” free agent outfielder Carlos Beltran, but noted that the Sox also view the 36-year-old as a “tough squeeze” for two reasons. First, as a corner outfielder, Beltran would not address the most pressing vacancy created should center fielder Jacoby Ellsbury leave via free agency (at a time when the team has Shane Victorino as a Gold Glove defender in right). He’s a bit of an imperfect roster fit for a team that already has three strong corner outfielders in Victorino, Daniel Nava and Jonny Gomes.
