The Royals are expected to field offers for Cain as the trade deadline begins to loom, Nick Cafardo of The Boston Globe reports.
What's been expected for a while is beginning to come to fruition. The Royals have no choice but to start unloading the players that won the club a World Series just two seasons ago. Cain's hitting .273 and is on pace to steal a career-high 35 bases while topping 30 doubles for just the second time in his career. A move to a playoff contender could boost the outfielder's value, as Cain is currently entrenched in one of MLB's worst lineups.
