Could Carlos Beltran wind up staying in NL Central?

A nightmare scenario may be developing for the St. Louis Cardinals.

The last thing the Cardinals want is for free agent outfielder Carlos Beltran to stay in the National League Central, but the Cincinnati Enquirer reports that Reds general manager Walt Jocketty has reached out to Beltran's agent.

Could the Reds be looking at Carlos Beltran? According to a report in Primera Hora, a newspaper in Puerto Rico, the Reds have reached out to Beltran’s agent, Dan Lozano. The author of the report, Noel Piñeiro told the Enquirer in an e-mail that Beltran said Lozano informed him of the Reds’ interest. Piñeiro said Beltran also told him he expects to make a decision by mid-December.
Beltran, 36, is also being courted by the Tigers, Yankees, Rangers, Orioles, Mariners, Red Sox and Royals, according to the same report.
The Reds are a  long shot in the Beltran sweepstakes, according to the report.
