With*Red Sox outfielder Grady Sizemore progressing towards *****ing the team's Opening Day roster, WEEI.com's Rob Bradford provides the details of his incentive-heavy contract. If Sizemore breaks camp, he would earn a $250K bonus and draw a $750K base salary. He can, as previously reported, boost the total value to $6MM if he were to hit all incentives. Here's how: $250K each for reaching 60, 90, 120, and 150 days in the big leagues; $250K for each increment of 25 plate appearances from 225 to 500; and a slate of award bonuses (including $50K for being named AL Comeback Player of the Year).*
Orioles third baseman Manny Machado says that his $519K contract for 2014 is*"disappointing,"*reports Dan Con**lly of the Baltimore Sun. Of course, with less than two years of service, Machado had little choice in the matter. The two sides have yet to discuss the possibility of an extension, though Con**lly says there are "indications" that talks could take place once the health of the 21-year-old's left knee is more certain. Machado maintains that he would*"love to be an Oriole forever," **ting that his only wish is*"to be treated fairly."*
The*Yankees have drawn significant trade interest in backstop Francisco Cervelli, tweets Chris Cotillo of MLBDailyDish.com. Among the teams giving the catcher a look is the White Sox. Though the out-of-options, 28-year-old Cervelli figures to have the inside track on the reserve role for New York, the club has several other viable options to back up Brian McCann*(as MLBTR's Steve Adams recently explained).
