St. Louis RF Carlos Beltran has finally made good on his offer to finance Mets LHP Jon Niese's nose job. The procedure reportedly cost $10,000. Beltran joked last season that he would finance the operation if Niese - who formerly had a very distinct and crooked nose - would undergo surgery on his nose.
Niese confirmed to reporters that he had undergone the procedure in October when it became evident that his nose looked noticeably different after he reported to Spring Training in mid-February and had told them that he sent Beltran the bill for the operation. But don't worry folks, Beltran just signed a two-year, $26 million deal with St. Louis this off-season so $10,000 is peanuts to him. Although Niese's nose is noticeably straighter than it had been in the past, the procedure has helped him breath easier out of his nose.
In addition, Niese claims that he lost ten pounds in the off-season due to the fact that he was breathing heavier while working out following the nose job.
