Jose Abreu Posted May 28, 2016 Share Posted May 28, 2016 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.

Whisox05 Posted May 28, 2016 Share Posted May 28, 2016 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would think sox would be willing to take on almost all to pay minimal in players. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Y2Jimmy0 Posted May 28, 2016 Share Posted May 28, 2016 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.

Whisox05 Posted May 28, 2016 Share Posted May 28, 2016 (edited) 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, 2016 by WhiteSoxLifer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whisox05 Posted May 28, 2016 Share Posted May 28, 2016 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.

Bob Sacamano Posted May 28, 2016 Share Posted May 28, 2016 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.
