-Buster Olney tweeted that the Mets are asking for a top prospect for Carlos Beltran, but the Giants’ interest in Beltran – and a big bat in general – may be decreasing given their growing divisional lead

-Olney writes that after talking with an unspecified AL GM, the action is expected to heat up after July 24.
