One of Sandy Alderson’s objectives is to convince Carlos Beltran to accept a move to right field and it looks as if that might happen.
In a conference call Thursday, Beltran said he would be open to moving to right field and waiving his no-trade clause.
BELTRAN: Open to move and trade
“I still feel that I can play center field,’’ Beltran said. “But, if the organization has different things in mind, then we have to talk about it.’’
Beltran wants to finish his career with the Mets, but is aware the club would like to shed his $18.5 million salary.
“If the organization is looking at different options, I have to be aware,’’ Beltran said. “So if a situation comes between them and us, we’re going to handle it in a very professional way.’’
The talking could start Saturday when Alderson travels to Puerto Rico for Beltran’s fundraiser for the construction of his baseball academy.
