Madden says #RedSox likely to trade Cespedes partly because "he marches to his own drum and the coaches all hate him" http://www.nydailynews.com/sports/baseball...ticle-1.1987361

Very interesting piece from Bill Madden of NYDN on Yoenis Cespedes and #RedSox with possible trade looming: http://www.nydailynews.com/sports/baseball...ticle-1.1987361

The Orioles have spoken to Nick Markakis‘ agent and will continue contract discussions this week, Roch Kubatko of MASNsports.com reports. Markakis is expected to hit free agency when the O’s decline their half of a $17.5MM option on the outfielder’s services for 2015. “Both sides want to get a deal done, but….A hometown discount has its limits,” Kubatko writes. Indeed, Markakis will draw a lot of interest on the open market, with MLBTR’s Steve Adams predicting Markakis will find a three- or four-year deal worth between $39-$48MM (depending on whether the Orioles extend a qualifying offer).

Re: @Joelsherman1 report on #BlueJays possibly dealing Adam Lind soon, it's possible TOR could trade him before they have to decide option.

Teams usually have until 5 days after World Series to pick up an option; Lind has a club option worth $7.5M for 15. #BlueJays

7.5m is pretty low in the grand scheme of things, why wouldnt they just exercise it and then trade him when the market develops?

I agree it seems odd not to wait. Maybe they already have a deal they like - they wanted a guy and they're getting him.
