Richard Durrett cites sources who say free agent third baseman Adrian Beltre was in town Tuesday night for a Wednesday physical that could lead to him signing with the Rangers later in the day.
Numerous reports Tuesday labeled Beltre's deal as five years with a sixth that would be triggered if Beltre reaches various goals. The sixth year could bring the deal to a total of $96 million.
The 31-year-old would be the Rangers’ regular third baseman, bumping Michael Young to a DH/utility role. Young said Monday that he would be willing to move off of third base to accommodate Beltre.
