My original guess is that Beltran is either more hurt than they are reporting or that the Mets just want to end the relationship with him.
If the Angels are basically picking up the contract, the move appears to provide a low risk back up while Beltran is injured. Pagan played pretty well for the Mets last year so who knows?

The Sarge Jr. Contract is one of the lesser talked about god awful contracts...he's been utter garbage since getting there. Seems to get a pass though...

Agreed that Matthews contract is one of the worst in baseball.
You can claim that the Angels didn't know about the HGH thing and if Sarge Jr. didn't get caught maybe he could have continued to hit.
I wasn't aware of how badly his defense deteriorated nor that he had become a clubhouse distraction regarding demands for more playing time.
For what its worth, yeah the Hendry's Bradley deal wasn't as bad as the Sarge Jr deal.

White Sox making strong push for Johnny Damon. Tigers have offered 2 years, $14 million though.

White Sox top prospect Jared Mitchell, who really impressed me during the CWS last year, could miss the season with an ankle tear.

<!--quoteo-->QUOTE <!--quotec-->Rich Harden was tagged for five runs over 3 2/3 innings in a loss to the Giants on Monday night.
Harden gave up five hits, including a two-run homer to Fred Lewis, while walking three and striking out four. He has allowed nine runs in 8 1/3 innings this spring (9.72 ERA). The good news? Harden's velocity was consistently in the 89-92 mph range on Monday, topping out at 93 mph.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->

Nationals release Elijah Dukes.
He may have cleaned up his act - arguing with umps, drugs, paternity suits - but he just couldn't hit MLB pitching.

Wow, that's bad.
The thing you need to remember is that all Cardinals fans and all White Sox fans are very bad people. It's a fact that has been scientifically proven beyond a shadow of a doubt. Being a Cubs fan is the only path to rightousness and piousness. Cardinal and White Sox fans exist to be the dark, diabolical forces that oppose us. They are the yin to our yang, the Joker to our Batman, the demon to our angel, the insurgence to our freedom, the oil to our water, the club to our baby seal. Their happiness occurs only in direct conflict with everything that is pure and good in this world.
