Yo Adrian?

Ok, forgive me for the cheap laugh in the title. As of 7 p.m. today, January 4, Sports Illustrated's Jon Heyman is reporting via twitter (@SI_JonHeyman) that the Red Sox and free agent 3rd baseman Adrian Beltre are close to a deal. Heyman also has a story up on SI.com, but the Web version has little more information than his original tweet. Stay tuned as I'm sure more information will find it way out regarding the potential signing of Beltre
