No. If we trade Shields we might have to call-up an interesting prospect. Not happening.

Probably not, but August should yield what you seek.

Rumors have been very light for the Sox this year, I think they plugged a lot of leaks in the last few years.

Agreed.  The Soria trade certainly came out of nowhere.

Unfortunately, he  won't return anything.  I'd be surprised if a contender wants him anyway.   There's room to bring up a young starter - he can go to the pen.

Please do not put people who need to build up innings and arms and consistency and repetition in the bullpen.

Yea, move Avilan and Cedeno - creates room and will get a little something.
Currently in the pen, only Fry and Danish are of any long term interest really, as of now.

Vieira?

James Shields hasn't checked enough boxes to deserve a trade rumor.

He'll go somewhere in mid-August and that'll clear a spot for a AAA callup.

lmao they kept doing that another year with someone (I can't remember who). They were referring to the voice as: "Big Voice Guy" or something like that.

I think his name is Russ Spatera or Russ Patera.   Either way he is awesome at his job

Russ Mitera

Just hang a sign around Shields' neck that says " free to a good home".

FWIW the Sox released the lineup for tonight and they have Shields starting.

I don't understand why the M's don't toss the Sox a semi-interesting A baller for Shields. They could really use his innings eating at the back of their rotation, and maybe going to a pitcher's park in Safeco would help mitigate the HRs Shields gives up.

I don't think anyone would give a semi-interesting A Baller for Shields. Maybe if the White Sox picked up the entire remaining contract that would be workable, but are the M's really that desperate for an extra $3 million?

No, but they are desperate for SP and they really don't have anything to trade. Their farm system is 2013 Sox bad.

Shields seems more like a waiver claim deal to me.

No one is claiming that contract in August. Sox would just let him go at the pro-rated $20m and save money.

What contract? He's owed like $3 million for the rest of his career. The rest is covered by the Padres.
