Yesterday, it was reported that the Los Angeles Angels dropped out of the Adrian Beltre negotiations after “making him (Beltre) an incredible offer”. The offer was rejected by Beltre and his agent, Scott Boras, and “there’s no room for further negotiation.”

However, Ken Rosenthal of FOXSports said the Angels have not given up their pursuit of Beltre, but they may not be close to agreeing to a deal.  It’s believed that Beltre is seeking a five-year, $85-$90 million deal or even a six-year deal with a comparable salary.

Earlier today, ESPN’s Buster Olney said that Oakland, which has taken a major step forward with its offseason moves, would talk to Beltre again if he wants to talk with the Athletics.
