The San Diego Padres have reached an agreement with free-agent pitcher James Shields on a four-year deal that will pay him in the range of $75 million, a source confirmed to ESPN.com's Jerry Crasnick on Monday.
Shields' deal includes a club option for a fifth year, the source told ESPN.com. ... The veteran right-hander, who grew up near San Diego, provides the Padres with a workhorse in pitching-friendly Petco Park. Shields ranks first among MLB pitchers with 1,785 2/3 innings pitched since 2007, according to baseball-reference.com. Seattle's Felix Hernandez is second in that span with 1,785 1/3 innings, while Detroit's Justin Verlander is third at 1,780 2/3. |

There's a Royals thread for a reason. |

Is this guy an ace or what? This is the largest contract in San Diego Padres history.

Are you calling him useless because he didn't do well in the playoffs or what? I'm having trouble believing we paid $20mil a year to a brokedick. |

He's never been injured and if he keeps to form, he'll give you 33-34 starts with a 3.5ish ERA. Solid, but he's obviously got some miles on him and giving him that much at his age is risky.

Seems like a good contract for both sides. I'm fine with Royals passing on it though.

But he's older and that's a rather large contract. But clearly with the other Padre signings, they are looking to make a run. If that comes early in the contract before he fades, who cares I guess? But between him and Myers you've got some locker room issues to worry about. Might need to see if Jeff Francoeur is available. |
