flavum Posted June 4, 2016 Share Posted June 4, 2016 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hi8is Posted June 4, 2016 Share Posted June 4, 2016 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rowand44 Posted June 4, 2016 Share Posted June 4, 2016 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whisox05 Posted June 4, 2016 Share Posted June 4, 2016 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soxfan49 Posted June 4, 2016 Share Posted June 4, 2016 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" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he's going to get good somewhere else, let it be on a bad team in NL West where nobody is paying attention. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justBLAZE Posted June 4, 2016 Share Posted June 4, 2016 The number of BIG GAME pitchers on a championship winning rosters must remain at 1. Sup Freddy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flavum Posted June 4, 2016 Share Posted June 4, 2016 Latos should be a long reliever, and if he doesn't like it, release him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WhiteSoxfan1986 Posted June 4, 2016 Share Posted June 4, 2016 I'd like to see Gonzalez as the long man, with Putnam as the 7th inning guy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whisox05 Posted June 4, 2016 Share Posted June 4, 2016 (edited) 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, 2016 by WhiteSoxLifer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whisox05 Posted June 4, 2016 Share Posted June 4, 2016 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
