Carlos Beltran To Return In 2017
內文：

Designated hitter/right fielder Carlos Beltran said Tuesday that he plans to
come back in 2017 for his age-40 season, according to TR Sullivan of MLB.com
(Twitter link). Whether the impending free agent will return to the Rangers
is up in the air, but he hopes to re-sign with the club.
Beltran spent the majority of 2016 with the Yankees, whom he signed with
prior to the 2014 campaign, before they dealt him to Texas at the Aug. 1
non-waiver trade deadline. After beginning the year an outstanding
.304/.344/.546 with 22 home runs in 387 plate appearances with the Yankees,
Beltran cooled off significantly as a member of the Rangers. In 206
post-deadline PAs, he batted .280/.325/.451 with seven homers. Still, as he
has typically done throughout what might be a Hall of Fame career, Beltran
posted an easily above-average .295/.337/.513 line in 593 trips to the plate.
As a result, he could pique hitter-needy teams’ interest in free agency.
Given his age and defensive limitations, Beltran surely won’t do as well as
the three-year, $45MM deal he inked last time he hit the open market. It also
won’t help Beltran’s earning power that a return to the DH-less National
League, where he previously played with the Mets, Giants and Cardinals, is
likely out of the question. Beltran’s coming off a season in which he worked
more as a DH (73 games) than as an outfielder (67) for the second time since
2014. Beltran’s recent subpar work in the grass justifies his bat-first
role, as Ultimate Zone Rating and Defensive Runs Saved have graded him as a
minus outfielder over the past several seasons.
It’s merely speculation, but contenders like the Indians, Red Sox, Blue Jays
and Astros are among those that could pursue Beltran during the offseason if
he doesn’t re-sign with the Rangers. Along with Houston, one of his
ex-employers, both Boston and Cleveland went after Beltran at the deadline.
The Red Sox are set to enter the post-David Ortiz era at DH, while the Jays
are in danger of losing both Edwin Encarnacion and Jose Bautista in free
agency. The same is true for the Indians and Mike Napoli. The Astros have a
DH option on hand in Evan Gattis, though he could become their everyday
catcher if fellow backstop Jason Castro signs elsewhere.

備註：
1. 明年40歲的Carlos Beltran表示2017年球季會繼續打球，沒有退休的計畫。
2. Carlos Beltran希望能和遊騎兵共續前緣。
3. 文章指出，受限於他年紀稍長與防守的限制，Carlos Beltran不會拿到$45MM/3YR等級
的合約，沒有DH的國家聯盟也較不適合他。
4. 本季Carlos Beltran以DH身分(73場)上場先發的次數多於外野手(67場)身分上場先發，
這樣的情形可追溯至2014年，三年約的第一年洋基球季。
5. 今年在守備各項指標方面評價為低於水平，UZR與DRS皆低於零。
6. 文章預測潛在的競爭者包含印地安人、紅襪、藍鳥和太空人隊。

我覺得簽個1+1(Option)也不錯，例如$13MM/1YR+$12MM(Option)。
