ChiliIrishHammock24 Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 I thought this was going to be a "would you want this good thing, at a cost of this bad thing?" Instead it's "Would you want this good thing, and then also this even better thing?" So to answer your question......hell yes, and hell yes.

credezcrew24 Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 At that price I would sign Shields if Danks is traded or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaliSoxFanViaSWside Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 That's like asking if I could go to heaven but still be an asshole would I ? Duh ! But Danks isn't going anywhere . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasn't it after the deadline last year when Hahn said he almost traded Danks but they couldn't agree to the players and amount of moving changing hands? I say move him for whoever will get you the most money off the books. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Sacamano Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 Could the Sox get creative to add some more guaranteed money? Like a 4 year deal, 5th year option with a 5 mill buy out to guarantee an extra 5 mill on top of whatever he signs for for the 4 years.

Y2Jimmy0 Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 I was just coming to create a thread about this. He would cost a comp pick but at this point it'd only be a 4th rounder. Here is a good synopsis of the possible Shields market from Fangraphs: http://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/finding-a-p...-james-shields/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure. But how would signing Shields relate to being able to trade John Danks? It would affect the need to trade him, but not really the ability...

southsider2k5 Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 Detroit has a real need for Shields, and even if we were interested, I don't see us outbidding them. And I am perfectly fine with the idea of Detroit paying Shields $20ish million a year in years 4 and 5 of that deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Sacamano Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 You know, interest from us could scare them into paying 5/100 mill+. He may be worth it the first 2-3 years, but I feel it would also prevent them from extending Price or signing anyone next off season. I think 4/70-80 is my ceiling which won't get it done.

Harry Chappas Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 Pittsburgh, Detroit, St Louis, Baltimore and the cubs are just a few that would have to jump on that deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
