Washington (AP) - The Washington Nationals traded centerfielder Carlos Beltran and a fourth round draft pick to the Pittsburgh Pirates in exchange for the Buccos first round draft pick in 2008.
Beltran hit just .247 for Wahington last season. But, he did hit 36 roundtrippers and knock in 91 runs for the Nats. Beltran has 151 career homers for Kansas City and Washington through seven seasons.
