Carlos Beltran plans to return in 2017, which would be his 20th Major League campaign and his age-40 season.

He will be a free agent, but said Tuesday that he would like to re-sign with the Texas Rangers, who acquired him from the New York Yankees at the trade deadline.

Beltran hit .280/.325/.451 in 206 plate appearances with the Rangers after a much-hotter 387 PAs (.304/.344/.546) with the Yankees to begin the season.
