May 28, 20169 yr QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ May 28, 2016 -> 09:36 PM) Rabbit from here said they weren't discussing him with this deal.. I assumed it would be Erik Johnson and an international signee prospect
May 28, 20169 yr QUOTE (fathom @ May 28, 2016 -> 03:38 PM) I assumed it would be Erik Johnson and an international signee prospect Would that be enough for them to give us cash in return
May 28, 20169 yr He's owed (pending an opt-out) about $63 million through the 2018 season. He's 34 with declining fastball velocity and peripherals that do not match his ERA. I'd really hope we at least get off the hook on some of that $63 mil.

I'm not sure how much better he will be from Latos/Gonzalez.
May 28, 20169 yr The White Sox and Padres are reportedly engaged in serious discussions about sending James Shields to Chicago: https://t.co/r6pMwzgEqd https://twitter.com/The_Xsport/status/736657259950944260
May 28, 20169 yr QUOTE (ChiSoxFanMike @ May 28, 2016 -> 03:32 PM) I'm just going to be upfront about this, I'm not a fan of this trade unless San Diego eats a lot of his contract. I would think sox would be willing to take on almost all to pay minimal in players.
May 28, 20169 yr I heard Erik Johnson and Fernando Tatis mentioned in return yesterday. Interesting thing about Shields: He can opt-out after season and Sox would receive a comp pick. He's owed $21 million this year, next year, and in 2018. 2019 $2 million buyout.
May 28, 20169 yr Padres would love to move Shields and are not expected to be as quiet on trade front this year as last: https://t.co/YmKTZJmUgD https://twitter.com/ScottMillerBbl/status/736659780274520065 Edited May 28, 20169 yr by WhiteSoxLifer

I don't think he'd opt out because teams would be foolish to pay him $42 million over the next two years
May 28, 20169 yr Interesting report by @sdutdennislin on White Sox interest in James Shields. Rick Hahn seems in aggressive mode. Tim Anderson could be key. https://twitter.com/philgrogers/status/736661874381598720 Really don't see Anderson being available. Would be a huge overpay for Shields.

When was the last time he was right about something?
May 28, 20169 yr QUOTE (ChiSoxFanMike @ May 28, 2016 -> 04:18 AM) White Sox Dave is a f***ing moron. I wouldn't believe anything that clown says. Oh boy...he's actually had good info in the past.

I wouldnt mind giving up Anderson if they also get Kemp or Myers back as well as Shields
May 28, 20169 yr QUOTE (fathom @ May 28, 2016 -> 03:58 PM) Oh boy...he's actually had good info in the past. I think Mike (along with myself) was just annoyed by all of his "Cespedes to Chicago official" tweets this winter
May 28, 20169 yr With there not being a lot of talent in free agency this upcoming offseason to spend on, I think it's more likely sox take on big expiring (1-2 years remaining) contracts without giving up top talent.
May 28, 20169 yr QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ May 28, 2016 -> 09:00 PM) I think Mike (along with myself) was just annoyed by all of his "Cespedes to Chicago official" tweets this winter Happens though, he was upfront the whole time with his info.
May 28, 20169 yr QUOTE (Condor13 @ May 28, 2016 -> 04:00 PM) I wouldnt mind giving up Anderson if they also get Kemp or Myers back as well as Shields Myers would be the only one and they have to eat most of Shields contract. We finally might develop a hitter and we want to trade him? This place would be pissed off and so would 80% of the fan base

May 28, 20169 yr San Diego paper. no mention of Anderson http://www.sandiegouniontribune.com/news/2...rade-white-sox/
May 28, 20169 yr If they gave up Anderson for Shields I'd just stop watching because that would be the dumbest fricken thing to do
May 28, 20169 yr Not even Kenny Williams can be that stupid -- I think. But he does love flipping every prospect we have.
