Beltre's Market Shrinks By One

When the Detroit Tigers announced the signing of third baseman Brandon Inge, one of Adrian Beltre's most talked-about landing spots evaporated as quickly as a solemn promise from Scott Boras. So, while there will still be a healthy market for Boras to mine, a big sucker is off the board. One would think this enhances the chances (at least a little bit) of Boston getting back their best everyday player of 2010.
