The #Padres are expected to eat about half of remaining $56 million in Shields contract when they trade him.

 

Oh thank god. Hope we don't give up anything too significant still. Johnson and another fringe guy is all I'd do.

If the Pads are eating half of his salary, that means the Sox will owe him about $11M a year. Will need about 1.5 WAR of value each year to make that worth it. Not a slam dunk, but not a tall order either from a guy who, outside of last year, was a steady 3 WAR pitcher, and was even on pace for 3+ WAR before his recent meltdowns.

It'd be 8.5 million a year on average for Sox if padres paid half.

Looking at baseball reference, he's set to make $21 mill in each of 17 and 18. That'd be 11.5 we owe him those years. He has an option for $16 mill the following year.
