June 4, 20169 yr QUOTE (WhiteSoxLifer @ Jun 4, 2016 -> 02:19 PM) Probably going to need to be approved by commissioner since money might be involved Yep. This thing is getting announced today. Maybe soon if a player on the 25-man is involved.
June 4, 20169 yr QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Jun 4, 2016 -> 12:20 PM) I kind of really hope Jay is in the deal, I think he would fit perfectly with this team Same. He adds a lot of flexibility and gives a hot contact bat from the left side.
June 4, 20169 yr QUOTE (hi8is @ Jun 4, 2016 -> 02:12 PM) If Jay is included I see him in left at times with Melky moving to DH I approve of this message.
June 4, 20169 yr Sources confirm James Shields to White Sox is looking close . https://twitter.com/MLBBruceLevine/status/739174900141821953
June 4, 20169 yr QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Jun 4, 2016 -> 02:22 PM) I approve of this message. Fitting that Rowand is commenting on this post.
June 4, 20169 yr 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
June 4, 20169 yr QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Jun 4, 2016 -> 02:10 PM) Read the first few pages of this thread, many posters were against the idea I read the first 3 pages. Hardly anyone was against it because of his ability. Instead it was more about money. In fact, you even listed the rotation and said that it "looks a hell of a lot better than what we currently have"
June 4, 20169 yr QUOTE (BamaDoc @ Jun 4, 2016 -> 02:28 PM) Maybe why Avi not in lineup? Hope so. If he's going to get good somewhere else, let it be on a bad team in NL West where nobody is paying attention.
June 4, 20169 yr The number of BIG GAME pitchers on a championship winning rosters must remain at 1. Sup Freddy.

In fact, you even listed the rotation and said that it "looks a hell of a lot better than what we currently have" I maintain that our rotation with Shields is much better than that without him. However, it still can't be denied that he's declining and has poor peripherals even without that last start
June 4, 20169 yr Wow. This escalated quickly. If the Padres are eating half the salary and we give up minimal prospects-- kudos to Hahn.
June 4, 20169 yr QUOTE (flavum @ Jun 4, 2016 -> 02:45 PM) Could see Matt Davidson thrown in, because why not? Johnson, Tatis Jr., Davidson, and Garcia for Shields, Jay, and cash!! /green
June 4, 20169 yr 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 Edited June 4, 20169 yr by WhiteSoxLifer
June 4, 20169 yr 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
