Carlos Beltran, the star outfielder for MLB team "New York Yankees", has reportedly listed his home in Weston, Fla., for $4.5 million.
The home has been listed with Giselle Bonetti of Coldwell Banker Residential Real Estate, The Wall Street Journal reports, breaking news of the listing.
Beltran purchased the house while he was still with the St. Louis Cardinals in August 2013. He paid $3.8 million for the single family home. However, in December he signed a three-year, $45 million contract with the Yankees and abandoned all plans to settle down in the sunshine state.
While signing the contract, Beltran was over the moon.
"Having the opportunity to come back again as a Yankee, means a lot to me. I grew up being a Yankee fan. I grew up being a Bernie Williams fan. At one point [in 2005], I almost got a chance to sign with the Yankees, but it didn't work out," he told ESPN.
Before Beltran could even move into the new house, he and his family (wife and two children) left to settle down in the Big Apple, the listing agent told the Journal.
Property records of the home state that the residence is a 12,760-square-feet house, comprising of eight bedrooms and 10 bathrooms.
Interiors of the beautiful home feature tiled and marble flooring, high soaring ceilings, large glass doors and windows and arched hallways.
The double-storey house has a formal living area, dining space, a game room, a study, a wine cellar and a greenhouse as well.
Outside, the residence has a basketball court, a putting green, an infinity pool and a large patio area.

Beltran's stint with the Yankees hasn't been that successful largely due to injuries. He missed the first two games of the season after he suffered from soreness in his right knee. More recently, he fractured his face and nose after his own batted ball hit him in the face during a practice session. He has now been placed on a seven day, disabled list.
"You don't expect that to happen when you're practicing,'' Beltran told ESPN. "The ball hit the screen and bounced back and hit me in the face.''
"He (Beltran) has the fractures in the nose, and we don't think it's going to require [surgery], but we've got to make sure. We've got to get that checked out, so he went back to New York to make sure his nose is going to be OK. We just felt that it was probably best that he didn't play for a few days," Yankees manager Joe Girardi said of Beltran's injury.
