Fremont ownership group advised in a written statement:

The 'Monts bid a farewell to Carlos Beltran. Acquired at the 2014 trade deadline, Beltran hit .248/.289/.419 with 24 HRs 75 RBI and (somehow) no errors in two and a half years with the club.
Beltran is fourth all time Fremont in home runs, eight in RBIs, ninth in hits and tied for third in pinch hits.

Well wishes as well to Carlos Perez. A 2016 third round pick, Perez is second all time with 128 appearances behind the plate for the Fremonts and led the 2016 Friendship league with 14 sacrifice hits; we're going to assume that's the first time a platoon catcher has ever led the league in sacrifice hits.

Colby Lewis came to Las Vegas as a desperation innings grab in the 8th round of the 2014 draft; he leaves with a 14-15 record, 5.96 ERA and 166 strikeouts in 255 innings. Lewis is tied for fifth on the all time 'Monts wins and innings list, sixth in strikeouts, fourth in games started (43). His 8.29 ERA in 2015 is somehow only the second worst in team history.

Chris Iannetta came to Las Vegas as a 6th round pick in 2013. In five years, Iannetta caught in a team record 257 games hitting .212/.311/.336 18 HRs, 65 RBI. He's fourth in club history for games (283), third in walks (92) and tenth in home runs and RBI

Assistant Fremont GM Wes said, "The trade window is now open. There is a table. Players listed here, this year's draft picks and next year's draft picks are on that table." Then he pooped.
