Carlos Beltran was my favorite on the Mets. But, it was time for him to go and re-tool the team. As a player for the Mets, I’ll miss his smooth style of play. He should be a great addition to the defending World Champions, San Francisco Giants.
Who knows?
Maybe Carlos can get a ring himself too?

The Mets have agreed to trade Carlos Beltran and cash to the Giants for one of the best pitching prospects in the majors, right-hander Zack Wheeler, multiple sources confirmed to The Post on Wednesday.
Because Beltran is a 10-and-5 player (10 years of service, five in a row with his current team), there is a 24-hour grace period that must be observed, though Beltran previously made it clear he would accept a trade to the Giants.
It is conceivable an issue could crop up that would kill the deal. But officials involved in the process felt that only minor details needed to be finalized and that all the heavy lifting was done.
Manager Terry Collins said he’s been told not to use Beltran on Wednesday night against the Reds. Collins said expects something to be done by Thursday, according to The Associated Press.
Wheeler, 21, was the No. 6 pick in the 2009 draft and is ranked the 35th best prospect by Baseball America. In 13 starts this year, Wheeler is 7-5 with a 3.99 ERA.
