The #Whitesox expected to send Class A prospect to #Padres for James Shields. Fernando Tatis Jr has been discussed, per @sdutdennislin https://twitter.com/BNightengale/status/739188079877980166

James Shields has made his last 277 scheduled starts dating back to April 2008. He is an unparalleled type of workhorse in today's age. https://twitter.com/BrianBilek_/status/739183184672350208

One of the details to go is commish approval, which is required when millions change hands, as is the case here #shields https://twitter.com/JonHeyman/status/739182901074399232

While shields has an opt-out after this season, it's unlikely he'd walk away from $42M over 2 years #chisox #padres https://twitter.com/JonHeyman/status/739182519254286336 With starting pitching being thin next year sox could use him further after this year

Padres' push to move James Shields--while eating about half the money--comes just three days after owner ripped him by name in interview. https://twitter.com/Buster_ESPN/status/739176253811396612 Probably helped to just want to move him and Sox not having to give up much

Sources confirm James Shields to White Sox is looking close . https://twitter.com/MLBBruceLevine/status/739174900141821953

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Jun 4, 2016 -> 02:18 PM) Jon Heyman ‏@JonHeyman 40s41 seconds ago Padres, chisox have agreed on the principals of shields deal, with only details to go Probably going to need to be approved by commissioner since money might be involved

QUOTE (hi8is @ Jun 4, 2016 -> 02:12 PM) If Jay is included I see him in left at times with Melky moving to DH Could see him replacing Jackson and Sox still going to get a LH hitter for dh

If Sox get jay he's putting up a 1.1 war vs Jackson at .1 according to baseball reference. Would think jay replaces jackson

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Jun 4, 2016 -> 02:09 PM) Platoon him with Jackson moving Jackson to backup OF most of the time. Honestly if he hits better then Jackson and can play adequate cf I would have jay starting most of the time

QUOTE (flavum @ Jun 4, 2016 -> 02:07 PM) I hope Avisail is a Padre, quite frankly. Probably would be better to be part of a trade for a hitter

SD will be getting $ relief (but will pay down portion). Chisox said no to Tim Anderson or other top prospects. https://twitter.com/JonHeyman/status/739167401539981312 With no top prospects given up for him I can deal with it

Padres, chisox are moving close to a James shields deal https://twitter.com/JonHeyman/status/739167056122220546

Sources: Padres, White Sox in advanced stages of trade talks involving James Shields. Deal likely by tomorrow. https://t.co/vEZnUBvFar https://twitter.com/The_Xsport/status/739164060126609408

Padres expected to deal Shields; White Sox remain likely: The Padres have agreed to trade right-hander James… https://t.co/V9Ca0Xhdy2 https://twitter.com/sandiegojournal/status/...164373344608256

Let's be clear the #Whitesox definitely are not trading prized SS Tim Anderson in talks with #Padres for Shields https://twitter.com/BNightengale/status/739163828001243136

The San Diego #Padres are expected to trade James Shields within 24 hours, and Chicago #Whitesox still are heavy favorites to land him. https://twitter.com/BNightengale/status/739159838333112320

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Jun 4, 2016 -> 09:55 AM) Hopefully THIS is the case when Melky comes back. Then somebody else will need to learn 1st base

QUOTE (flavum @ Jun 3, 2016 -> 09:56 PM) Kahnle and Purke are just reminding me that it's sad Erik Johnson isn't good enough to be on a 12-man pitching staff. Well kahnle is going back down

Kahnle back to Charlotte. Corresponding move tomorrow. https://twitter.com/CST_soxvan/status/738924153617551360

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 3, 2016 -> 09:34 PM) Team has no prayer if Eaton, Abreu and Frazier aren't above average hitters. Expected loss, but disappointing to see them get blown out late. Sale needs to be ready from pitch one tomorrow against a loaded lineup Basically only eaton, Abreu and Melky are your only an above average hitters. Frazier doesn't hit for average just hits homeruns in key spots. Problem is Frazier is the only run producing at right now.

QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ Jun 3, 2016 -> 09:32 PM) Maybe you have better ideas ? LOl so the guy is a failure already ? WHo coming here who is available doesn'y have a chance of failure ? How much longer till he's healthy and then you have to get him in the minors trying to get the rust off. Can't really wait to see if he can do contribute of you need it now

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 3, 2016 -> 09:31 PM) Doubt he gets you much. To me, his ceiling is a quality utility player. Don't think he will ever hit enough to start. Not saying he's a main point but a part that another team may see if he's more then a utility player. For the Sox he's nothing more then a utility player

QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ Jun 3, 2016 -> 09:27 PM) How is he limited defensively. He can play SS and 2nd and 3rd . I just think he's a better option than Rollins . Could can play those positions but not a great theres Best use of him is to be part if a package to upgrade another position
