Yeah, but his demands are probably too high/long. Plus, AA has been enamored with Shields before (nearly dealt TDA for him rather than Dickey but Myers was the better offer). Lester is better but Shields is more plausible.
Potential FAP-pen with Medlen/Shields signed to the rotation.
CP - Pat Neshek (5)
RP – Brett Cecil (arb2 proj. 2.6)
RP – Marco Estrada (4.7) / Aaron Sanchez (nm)
RP – Alexei Ogando (2)
RP - Brandon Morrow (4)
RP - Brandon Beachy (1)
RP - Carlos Villanueva (2)
Failed Starter FAP Pen (FSFAPP) lol
What a piece of s***. Now that we're good you want back in? No thank you.

@JamesShields Hey James, would you mind following me? Would like to ask you a question.
I'd rather trade for Souza instead of bring back Dirks. It might be overkill, but Calhoun2.0 for Loup would be worth it. Assuming he can play CF, I suppose.
I'll save BTS some work.
