Zack Wheeler 2008 UA All-American - Baseball Factory
This is the most recent rumor out there, but if true, if it ONLY costs the Giants Zach Wheeler and no other prospects -- I make this deal. The Giants will be challenged to either make another deep run this year with Beltran and / or re-sign him long-term to make the sacrifice of Wheeler worth it.
Wheeler is a premium prospect, but his stats have been a bot uneven in the early going in Low-A. He is still a long way from The Show and the path is littered with the corpses of young pitching phenoms who never made the climb. Met fans have to be disappointed if this is all they haul in for Beltran.
The deal may be delayed 24 hours until Beltran, as a 10 / 5 guy, approves. That is reportedly a mere formality.

"The Giants have the worst offense of any National League contender, so today GM Brian Sabean pounced on the best hitter available. The Giants and Mets reached a tentative agreement that will send right fielder Carlos Beltran and $4MM to San Francisco for pitching prospect Zack Wheeler, according to Ken Rosenthal and Jon Paul Morosi of FOX Sports."
