According to Mark Polishuk of MLB Trade Rumors, the Baltimore Orioles are one of a few teams that have spoken to the San Diego Padres about pitcher James Shields. The Orioles’ starting pitchers’ struggles are well-documented this spring, an there’s no question that Shields would be a great help to the team. He would also give the fan base a huge some peace of mind.
What the article fails to mention is what San Diego is asking in return. Just using some deductive reasoning here, but that tells me two things. First off it says that San Diego is probably asking for the moon and the stars for starters.
