Bigsoxhurt35 Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 Would be nice to get something back to the equivalent of Tatis Jr. Not sure what he'll be in the end because he's very very young still. I'm not sure what Shields' value is considering his just recent streak of decent outings and contact going forward. Would be crazy if they dealt all four starters (Sale, Q, Shields and Gonzalez). The rotation would be ass but we'd have a completely overhauled farm system and maybe some young potential TOR arms to go along with Rodon, Fulmer.

If they trade the rotation, I'd expect Melky, Eaton and Frazier all dealt. Also, aim higher for something like Tatis Jr. That's a name no one but FS guys would know of if not for his inclusion in the deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Hurtin Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 I'd deal him like Kramer, take the coffee before hearing the and. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CWSpalehoseCWS Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 Well, here's hoping he at least can pull off a QS against the Cubs. That should let teams realize he still has something in the tank against their deadly lineup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right but I was merely throwing a name out there because we had to give him up along with Erik Johnson. I don't even know Shields value. Lottery ticket guys?

ptatc Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 QUOTE (GreenSox @ Jul 26, 2016 -> 02:15 PM) Absolutely don't give him away; nor Gonzalez. But if teams offer a premium, trade him. That said, if the Sox do move Sale, I'd be inclined to keep them to preclude more rush ups. I'd rather see Beck than a rush up. This is the way to go. Only trade if you get something of value.

harfman77 Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 Another good start for Shields, shutting down one of the best offenses in baseball. Great game for trade value for Cabrera, Shields, and Robertson. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whisox05 Posted July 27, 2016 Author Share Posted July 27, 2016 James Shields is available via trade, sources say, and #WhiteSox could capitalize on spike in value: 1.71 ERA over last six starts. @MLB https://twitter.com/jonmorosi/status/758317066952712192 Shields a fascinating trade candidate: Per reports, #WhiteSox responsible for $22M after this year. Manageable sum to move. @MLB https://twitter.com/jonmorosi/status/758317505106489344 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Princess Dye Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 That said, if the Sox do move Sale, I'd be inclined to keep them to preclude more rush ups. I'd rather see Beck than a rush up. If Sale is traded, burn it all down. Give me Beck. If you're going to bad, you go mega bad. Get the prospects.

TheTruth05 Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 Realistically what kind of return would he fetch even with the pitching market sky high right now? I just don't see it being worth it unless Ranaudo or Fulmer can step in right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bring on Volstad and Turner, keep Fulmer in the pen to keep his innings down and let him work on things in game situations more often. If you are dumping anybody out of the rotation it means you are not competing anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxjusttyped Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 I would happily let him leave if another team was taking on his contract, so getting any prospects back for him would be a bonus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He would arguably be the top FA pitcher this offseason though if he finishes out the season strong. Could lock up similar money to what he's making now for longer than just the next 2 years.
