Or just resign him...like right away...

Ding ding ding!

Maybe if Shields' agent was the anti-Boras.

What would Shield's motivation to do that be? just so he can give you a discount in exchange for years he would probably be health through, given his history?

It would be worth attempting to do, no? Obviously it takes two sides, but my point was, we shouldn't trade for him without trying hard to keep him longer than 2 years...

forget shields , marcum , grienke haren ...kevins will be here ,im sure corriea and slowey after all terry lyan said 3 starters , he didnt say good starters , or he had his fingers crossed , you know its something like that ....we couldnt compete dollar wise , the market didnt justify those number of years we made an offer we tried dont know what went wrong ....same ole same ole

I'd definitely do Span/Benson but doubt that would be enough.
