Danm, He probably been hurt this whole season, Yanks should had gotten Lonely, but I think Yanks are in rebuild phase this season and are not interested in improving the team..

Looks like the Mariners have promoted pitcher Edwin Diaz, who has been throwing well in the minors.

Wow, he got promoted WAY faster than I thought, pretty sure he was in A ball earlier this year...? He's got amazing stuff, but hopefully not promoted too soon :\

James Shields is likely to be traded in the next 24 hrs. White Sox the heavy favorites.

yup.
Nightengale adds that the Padres are expected to pay about half the approximately $58MM left on Shields’ contract.

which would make it a more reasonable pick up for a 4/5th starter. I doubt anderson or fulmer will be involved in the trade but likely will see johnson and a few others go.

he should help save the bullpen given the innings he eats. and I would assume if the white sox get him that they will ask mat latos to move to long relief as Miguel González has been a lot more reliable than latos for the last month.

Dude got some really good stuff. He was basically untouchable in AA.

We need more flame throwers tbh, and I hope he can handle the big leagues.

Won't Shields just opt out, especially with the super weak FA starter market? Although I guess there's a pretty good chance he wouldn't be able to beat what he has already.

This seems kinda lose-lose for the White Sox, I think. Shields pitches well down the stretch, he opts out and the White Sox just gave up prospects for half a season of him. If he pitches poorly, White Sox are on the hook for something like ~30m? Which admittedly isn't that much for an average starting pitcher.

Can't imagine the Sox giving up anything of value at all. The Pads are certainly not dealing from a position of strength lol. This is more addition by subtraction for them.

For the Sox, it's a flier. With the Pads eating half the money on the rest of the deal, the Sox are still picking up a guy with past success going through a bad stretch on the relatively cheap.

Bryce Harper is not worth $750 million

probably not. but who knows what his next 2.5 seasons look like.

hes got a 230 BABIP this season, walking at a better rate than last year, striking out less than last year.

I imagine once some of those hits start finding holes, he will be back to hitting 320.
