Beltre will sign with the A's. BELEEED DAT
Is Adrian Beltre heading West? Beltre is set to cash in after taking a leading role in powering the Red Sox's lineup in 2010, having officially declined his $10 million player option to hit the open market on Wednesday.
The 31-year-old Beltre is also considered one of the game's best defensive third basemen. Boston would like to retain Beltre, but not at all costs.
Beltre also has his family situated on the West Coast, and has said that will be a factor when considering his offseason options.
Eric Chavez is officially done with the A's after the A's not optioning him.
