PrintUpdate 7:58 PM ET: Beltran will earn just more than $25 million over two-years, according to Tim Brown of Yahoo Sports. Brown also says Beltran received the full no-trade clause he desired.
According to Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, the St. Louis Cardinals and free-agent outfielder Carlos Beltran have agreed upon a two-year deal. The teams are ironing out the final details, one of which is Beltran wanting a full no-trade clause, according to Tim Brown of Yahoo Sports.
The Cardinals were one of several suitors for the free-agent, and we knew they were one of the more aggressive teams after Beltran. After losing Albert Pujols to the Angels, a healthy Beltran will help fill the production lost in the middle of the lineup.
Last season, Beltran hit .300/.385/.525 with 22 homers in just under 600 plate appearances. He was traded by the Mets to the Giants just days before the trade deadline. Despite getting off to a slow start for the Giants, he still hit .323/.369/.551 with the club in 179 plate appearances.

correct, but unsurprising
They have repeatedly said their priority is saving money “for a rainy day”. Which should come soon if people like Manny Burriss and Justin Christian see significant playing time.
