Jose Abreu Posted May 28, 2016 Share Posted May 28, 2016 QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ May 27, 2016 -> 09:24 PM) Unless Brian backs it up, I have zero faith in White Sox Dave. This is the same guy who bet his reputation that Cespedes and the White Sox had finalized a deal this winter, like four times. QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ May 27, 2016 -> 09:27 PM) And with Shields' age, contract, and declining performance, I wouldn't give up anything of value for him.

Why would he do that? He's not going to get MORE money on the open market...unless he just had a tremendous season this year and led the White Sox to the playoffs and went into next year's FA market, but what exactly are the odds of that happening?

Yea, I cannot possibly see a 35 year old pitcher forfeit $42M to take a chance on a weak FA market. He's be nuts to do that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soxforlife05 Posted May 28, 2016 Share Posted May 28, 2016 SP is like our 3rd or arguably 4th biggest need right now. Wouldn't be a fan of this unless we got him for literally nothing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Posted May 28, 2016 Share Posted May 28, 2016 We would definitely benefit from another starter and his contract dictates you'd have to give up very little talent. Note that it's a backloaded (sort of deal), so $10M last year and $21M each year until it ends. I'm not sure if Shields is the guy, but I would imagine as Hahn looks at deals he's checking out guys that are making a lot of money that he could basically in exchange for eating the contract Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jose Abreu Posted May 28, 2016 Share Posted May 28, 2016 The Padres are willing to eat some of Shields' contract in a trade. Good. His velocity is down and his peripherals aren't as encouraging as his oft-cited ERA, however Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whisox05 Posted May 28, 2016 Share Posted May 28, 2016 #WhiteSox are in trade discussions with the #Padres for James Shields, as talks have "significant momentum," according to @sdutdennislin. https://twitter.com/MaxWildstein/status/736654846678405120 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChiSoxFanMike Posted May 28, 2016 Share Posted May 28, 2016 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigHurt3515 Posted May 28, 2016 Share Posted May 28, 2016 Does he replace Gonzalez or Latos? I assume Gonzalez but he has done well against KC the last 2 times out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jose Abreu Posted May 28, 2016 Share Posted May 28, 2016 Despite my general negative attitude on this potential acquisition, I will say that Sale Quintana Shields Rodon Latos/Fulmer looks a hell of a lot better than what we currently have.
