Former Dodger hot corner stud Adrian Beltre just landed an insane six-year deal (five guaranteed) with the Texas Rangers this week, dispatching incumbent third baseman Michael Young to a first base/DH role. Gotta give credit where credit is due. Super-agent Scott Boras has done it again.
The losers in all of this? Vladimir Guerrero, and the Angels. Guerrero was the Rangers DH last season. He will now have to look for a new team, though he shouldn't have any problems there. And the Angels lose out on yet another top free agent they coveted. Could there be a reunion of sorts in the making for Vladdy and the Angels?
As for the Dodgers, this has nothing to do with them. However, they are expected to give former A's third baseman Eric Chavez a chance to work out for them. If he proves he's healthy enough, he could get a minor league deal with that so-called spring training invite, and possibly work his way into a platoon role at third base with the Beard, Casey Blake.
