Listening to the Cubs game on WGN and Chip Carey says Houston is going to have a press conference later tonight. More than likely Carlos Beltran will be announced as the new Houston Astro.

The stakes just went up in the NL Central.

Looks like it is true. Very close.

Son of a.....I hate seeing rival teams getting impact players like Beltran. Especially adding him to that offense.

Update: The deal is official now.
