“The inevitable has finally become a reality.”

Pending player and league approval, Carlos Beltran has been traded to the San Francisco Giants for top pitching prospect Zack Wheeler.  In the deal, the Mets will reportedly pay $4MM of Beltran’s remaining $6MM salary.

As you would imagine, the blogosphere has exploded with reaction:

  • Ted Berg pays tribute to Beltran like only Ted Berg can.
  • Amazin’ Avenue examines the newest member of the Mets’ organization, Zack Wheeler.
  • Hitting Things with Sticks thinks Sandy Alderson is 2 for 2 in the trade department. 
  • Daily Stache says goodbye to Beltran with the help of Sarah Brightman and Andrea Bocelli.
  • Joe Petruccio uses watercolors to explain the trade.
  • Mets Fever has video of Wheeler.
  • MetsMerized has Beltran’s final statistical rankings as a Met.
  • In other trade deadline news, MetsBlog reports that the Mets turned down a trade offer from the Angels: SS Erick Aybar for Jose Reyes.  Some guy named “One NL Executive” thought it would have been a good deal for the Mets.

And keep checking Mets Today for the latest news on the Beltran trade and much more.
