The Chicago White Sox made an extremely regrettable trade in June of 2016 when they acquired James Shields from the San Diego Padres in exchange for Erik Johnson and a player who would go on to become a top prospect, Fernando Tatis Jr.
Shields’ tenure in the South Side obviously didn’t go that well as evidenced by his best season with the team being in 2018 with a 4.53 ERA.
This trade is going to likely go down as the worst one of GM Rick Hahn’s tenure.
