(Reuters) ? The St Louis Cardinals have signed outfielder Carlos Beltran pending a physical, the team announced on Thursday.
The two-year deal was worth $26 million and contained a no-trade clause, according to the local media.
The 34-year-old would be the Cardinals' first significant signing since three-times National League MVP Albert Pujols signed with the Los Angeles Angels earlier this month.
"Beltran is a proven outfielder who obviously has been a tough opponent against the Cardinals for many years," St Louis senior vice president John Mozeliak said in a statement.
"It is going to be nice to have his bat and competitive nature working for us instead of on the other side of the field for the next couple of years."
Beltran, a six times All-Star, hit 22 home runs and batted .300 in 142 games last season split between the New York Mets and San Francisco Giants.
In the two previous seasons Beltran was limited to 145 games due to knee surgeries.
