Mets have agreed to trade OF Carlos Beltran to the Giants for prized prospect Zack Wheeler. Wheeler, 21, is 7-5 with 3.99 ERA for San Francisco's Class A Advanced San Jose affiliate this season, striking out 98 batters and walking 47 in 88 innings. Known for his heavy fastball, he was 3-3 with an identical ERA in his professional debut for Class A Augusta last summer.MLB.com ranks him number 2 on the Giants prospect list and 33rd-best prospect in baseball, which is higher than any Mets player on the list.
The deal will not be official under Thursday because Beltran has 24-hours to accept the deal to San Francisco. Beltran leaves the Mets after spending the last 7 years with the club. Beltran signed a 7-year $119 million contract back in 2005. In 2006 he had a career year in homeruns, belting 41 to tie the franchise record, hit by catcher Todd Hundley in 1996.
Beltran with Mets:
- Homeruns: 149

- Hits: 878
- Average: .280
- Games: 839
