ESPN reported the Beltre signing Thursday afternoon. Mariners general manager Bill Bavasi could not be reached to comment, but a club official said the team doesn't comment on signings until they are finalized.

As we wait on official confirmation ... for the white smoke to appear ...
Thinking about Pedro Martinez ... although at the time, he didn't leave a hole the size of the one the Dodgers are staring at now ...
Thinking about Mike Piazza ...
Thinking about how unlikely it is that any of the Dodger middle infielders should play third base ...
Thinking about whether a trade of an outfielder to come and a run for Carlos Beltran is in store ...
Thinking and reading ... your comments, the wires ...
Thinking about whether 2005 becomes a rebuilding year ... and reminding myself that the A's under Billy Beane haven't needed to have rebuilding years, so why should the Dodgers?
Someone mentioned Joel Guzman ... thinking about whether he will be rushed to the big leagues like Beltre was ...
Thinking about how much I'll miss watching the blossoming of Beltre before my eyes ... but how I won't have to worry that it won't continue ...
Thinking I really do have Beltre indigestion ...
