Reports have indicated that Beltran has all but been traded to the San Francisco Giants for right-handed pitching prospect, Zack Wheeler.
Beltran has 24 hours to approve the deal.
According to Sports Illustrated's Jon Heyman, the Mets will be paying roughly $4 million to Beltran in order to obtain Wheeler.
Wheeler was selected by the Giants in the first round of the 2009 First-Year Player Draft.
In his first year of pro ball, Wheeler was 3-3 with a 3.99 ERA in 21 games for the Augusta Greenjackets. So far in 2011, he is 7-5 with a 3.99 ERA in 16 games with San Jose. Opponents are batting just .224 off him this season.
