Adrian Beltre

I think that the way Adrian Beltre is conducting himself during free agency is putrid. Twice in two years Beltre has used the Oakland Athletics for leverage in free agency.

The poor A’s actually have a little cash to spend and they’re looking for a big bat in the middle of their lineup. Beltre has never had any intention of signing with the A’s and he is using the organization, MLB, and their fans to earn a few more million dollars.

However, what I think is funny, is Boston has moved on and has filled his void already. In retrospect, Beltre might end up signing in Oakland for less money. He will not get the big contract that he was seeking.
