The more things change for Adrian Beltre, the more they remain the same. In 2004, Beltre became a free agent on the back of an unexpectedly good offensive year and got a five-year, $64 million offer from an AL West club. He didn't live up to those terms, leading him to sign a one-year contract with the Red Sox for the 2010 season. Beltre notched better than expected numbers and, once again, an AL West club has reportedly put forth a five-year, $64 million offer for his services.
The only differences are that it's Oakland, not Seattle, making the big offer and that this might just be the starting point for Beltre's final contract. Enrique Rojas of ESPN Deportes is the man reporting on the offer, which is just the latest sign that Oakland is hunting for bear this offseason.
