The James Shields Thread (Signed with Padres)

@TheBlogfines: "I've been wrong before, but I have a strong, strong feeling James Shields will be a Padre." -Corey Brock (Padres/MLB.com)

 

@dennistlin: Sources: The Padres might be the favorite to land James Shields, but the two sides have not spoken in 24+ hours. http://t.co/qATiIaL2Tb

 

Take those however you prefer, I guess......

I hope at the very least we are driving up the price/years on the Padres when this is all said and done.

I honestly don't care what San Diego's payroll is.

You need to do your research. Quentin and Venable are 30+. Norris had 2 HRS in the 2nd half of 2014 and now you put him San Diego's huge park. His defense was so bad, GSoto started for him the playoffs against KC.

 

Please go away.

 

Unless something changes, Justin Upton will be in RF, Wil Myers will be in CF and Shawn Kemp will be in LF. Then they still have Quentin, Venable and Maybin as backups.

Is there anything Shawn Kemp can't do?

[Butterscup1679666578]

Update: Impasse now between Padres & Shields after flurry of talks over last several hours. Sources: Ball in Shields' court.

@JimBowden_ESPN: The Padres and Shields are not at an impasse....rather Shields has to decide if he wants to accept their last and final offer....#Padres

 

I'm happy to hear that it's a last and final offer lol Sorry to quote a Bowden tweet

While the #Padres badly want James Shields, and are the favorites, they're being told several teams remain heavily involved in the bidding.

I almost was. One of my older sister's friend's was banging him whenever he would come back to visit in Elkhart, IN. I could have banged her, but she was the biggest whore I've ever met in my life and would talk about her conquests. She lived in Seattle for a few years, and I'm pretty sure half the Supersonics roster ran thru her. And she was only of average attractiveness, though she did have an exotic look.

Bob Nightengale @BNightengale

It's unknown which teams are left in the bidding process for James Shields, but one team was told that a decision is expected soon.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

So basically, a baseball player is having trouble drumming up a market. He's got one team clearly interested. When it seems like he's dragged this out to a final offer with them, suddenly a new team or two are said to be interested.

 

Standard. He's going to the Padres.

[Vinestal]

Buster Olney @Buster_ESPN

One official involved in the Shields bidding does not expect the final numbers will be as high as $80 million/4 yrs. We'll see.

[Vinestal]

Dennis Lin @dennistlin

Up to Shields now. Resolution expected within 24 hours RT @therealshirk15: @dennistlin Padres playing waiting game with shields?

[Banedon]

@JulieDicaro

 

Two sources told me Maddon has been on the phone with Shields in last 24 hours. One says Lester called, as well. #Cubs

 

@JulieDicaro

 

BUT seems like collective wisdom is still that Shields signs with Pads. We'll see.

[ctcf]

Yea seems pretty much like a forgone conclusion at this point. Good landing spot for him.

[Brian]

maybe there has been a cosmic shift and the once all signs pointing towards the cubs leads to the person signing elsewhere has turned into all signs pointing to the person signing elsewhere but they end up with the Cubs
