CINCINNATI — Carlos Beltran accepted a trade to the San Francisco Giants, leaving the New York Mets to join his new team after saying goodbye Wednesday.
The commissioner's office had granted the Mets a 24-hour window to talk to the All-Star outfielder about waiving his no-trade clause. Shortly before an 8-2 win over the Reds on Wednesday night, Beltran arrived in the clubhouse and told his teammates he was on his way to join the World Series champions in Philadelphia.
The deal was expected to be announced Thursday morning.
"He came over and shook everybody's hands and said thank you," Mets outfielder Angel Pagan said. "We were very happy for him. He's going to be with a team that's a contender."
The Giants will finish a series in Philadelphia on Thursday night, then fly to Cincinnati for a three-game series this weekend, leaving Beltran with a back-and-forth trip.
His new team was eager to greet him.
"Having a guy like Beltran obviously adds a lot of positive energy," Giants closer Brian Wilson said. "With that kind of hitter, you're going to start seeing guys in front of him, guys hitting behind him, getting more pitches."
Beltran, who can become a free agent in the fall, was well aware all season that he would likely wind up on the trading block this summer. But if he was going to leave the Mets, he wanted to play for a postseason contender.
He got his wish – the Giants lead the NL West.
