The ACLs find themselves in a position where two players are looking for a way out of Ankeny (too much fried pork rinds and corn in Ankeny for their tastes).
- Brandon Crawford is looking for a new place to play SS, He has one year remaining on this contract and at a reasonable cost of $4.5 million.
- Carlos Beltran finds that he doesn't like being 2nd banana to Mookie Betts and would love to be your team's DH this season. He also has one year left on his contract at the very cheap cost of $1.2 million.
Crawford and Beltran could be had together, or they can be separated. Looking for a left-handed relief pitcher or draft picks. If there is a spare catcher that you are looking to get rid of, that could also happen in a deal.
