AL West Notes: Beltre, Parker, Mariners

By charliewilmoth and Jeff Todd | April 2, 2016 at 12:08pm CDT

Rangers GM Jon Daniels says he will speak to Adrian Beltre’s agent, Scott Boras, this weekend, Evan Grant of the Dallas Morning News writes (Twitter links). Daniels apparently did not reveal much about the content of those talks, but said the Rangers would like to keep Beltre, who is eligible for free agency after the season. As Gerry Fraley of the Morning News notes, Beltre would prefer not to negotiate in-season, and the two parties would have to reach a deal by Monday to prevent that from happening. At last check, there was a “significant gap” between the two sides, with the soon-to-be-37-year-old Beltre looking for a hefty three-year deal. Both parties have, however, shown interest in reaching a deal. On a separate note, Daniels also suggested it was unlikely the Rangers would make an outside addition to their roster before Opening Day. Here’s more from the AL West.

  • Athletics righty Jarrod Parker has now undergone surgery, as expected, to repair his ulnar collateral ligament and flexor tendon, John Shea of the San Francisco Chronicle tweets. The procedure was described as successful, but the 27-year-old faces yet another lengthy and uncertain rehabilitation process after already working back from two prior Tommy John surgeries. This time, of course, it will be even less straightforward (though he didn’t require a new UCL), since he’s also suffered two fractures to the medial epicyndyle area that typically anchors the UCL. The Chronicle’s Susan Slusser takes a closer look at the medicine involved.
  • It isn’t official yet, but the Mariners’ Opening Day roster appears set, Bob Dutton of the Tacoma News Tribune writes. Steve Clevenger appears likely to win the backup catcher job over Rob Brantly. Both are out of options, so one will need to go through waivers. Relievers Charlie Furbush (shoulder) and Evan Scribner (lat), meanwhile, seem likely to head to the 15-day DL. 1B/OF Efren Navarro, outfielder Daniel Robertson and pitchers Donn Roach and Blake Parker appear likely to head to Triple-A Tacoma, leaving the Mariners with a 25-man that would require extra 40-man space only for non-roster reliever Joel Peralta.

    Brantly could draw interest on waivers

    Really hope Parker can make it back. It’s so unfortunate that he has had to have that surgery thrice now.

      It’d probably be safer for him to take 2-3 years to heal then to make an immediate bid to pitch again.

        Agreed. If I’m the A’s, I don’t even have him think about picking up a baseball until the 2017 offseason.

    I wonder what it will take to sign Beltre? 2 years $46M sounds fair, but I bet Boras will demand 3 years with a higher annual value. He’s a HOF player and I hope he ends his career in a Rangers uniform.

    Beltre is a FA who has performed to the level expected of him. But if he wants a lot more money at an advanced age, better to let him go and move on with Gallo at 3B for the near future if Gallo improves this season. That’s why you have a minor league system….to keep from having to buy expensive veterans.

      Yeah this is the scenario I foresee happening. Gallo looked like he had a much better approach this spring. We will see if he can translate it at AAA.

    Id give beltre either 2 years/40m or 3 years 50m. Maybe thats lowballing a little bit, max I think rangers should go is 2/42m or 3/55m. Beltre is an amazing player and is worth it.

      I’d wait to even discuss it though. With Gallo coming up, and his advanced age, they are better off holding negotiations off until the end of the season.
