Ed, some news...finally. Cory looks to be ready to go for Spring Training barring setbacks. There's a small chance he'll lag a bit, but should be in the mix for the #5 spot in the roster possibly the swingman out of the pen, but it's a tough nut to crack right now and looks to get tougher should the Padres actually trade for Hamels.If I whisper my wicked marching orders into the ether with no regard to where or how they may bear fruit, I am blameless should a broken spirit carry those orders out upon the innocent, for it was not my hand that took the action merely my lips which let slip their darkest wish. ~Daniel Devereaux 2011

Padres are the favorite to land Shields.
Where am I? Is this bizarre world?Comment

As an unabashed Shields fan, I'd love this for him. Great park fit, and he gets to pitch close to home.Comment

As an NL-only owner with a good team but in need of good SP at auction, I'd love this for me. I hope that since Shields is a good guy he ends up happy too I guess.Originally posted by Moonlight J View PostComment

Just read that if the Padres do sign Shields, it will be the largest FA contract in the club's history. The current highest contract ever doled out by the Padres to a free agent is........Joaquin Benoit's 2 year, $15.5m deal.

Rumor is 4 years 72-75M. If that is true, and the Cubs don't offer 5 years 80-85M they are foolish.Comment

I think that it's highly unlikely that he'd sign for 5 years for just 5-10 million more. I think that a 5 year deal would have to be at least 90-95 million to make a difference, probably closer to 100 million. He's a 20 million a year guy all day long...Originally posted by Gregg View Post"Never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake."

And it's done...congrats to the Pads fans here and everywhere!
The Padres have agreed to terms with James Shields on a four-year deal likely between $72MM and $78MM, SB Nation’s Chris Cotillo reports (Twitter links). The deal also includes a club option. Shields is a client of PSI Sports Management."Never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake."

The Padres may have had the best offseason of any team I can ever remember. Even if it doesn't work out for them, were they really any worse off than what they typically would have done?Comment

And they're relevant now (with fans, competitors and even Vegas, where they're a startling 16-1 to win the WS) for the first time in what, 17 seasons? And their payroll will only be $10-$20m over what it was last season.Originally posted by eldiablo505Comment
