Actually. . . Shields has been terrible and has two years left on his contract. I can't remember how much the Sox are on the hook for, but I think it's like 22 million. It's been widely speculated they will have a fire sale. I'd definitely take Shields if it would reduce the cost to acquire Sale/Q/Rodon.
I'd prefer them in reverse order actually because of the Whitesox(understandable) love for Sale, they might slightly under value other assets. Plus Rodon and Q have more team control.
Regardless of which one we get though a great LH SP fits nicely for being better next year as well as long term plans.

Would love to get some opinions on what it would take to acquire Quintana from the Sox? As in actual prospects...
Would this be sufficient?
White Sox receive:
Joey Wentz
Chris Ellis
Braxton Davidson
Braves receive:
Jose Quintana
Jhoandro Alfaro

I'd really like to get Quintana. Maybe he and Santana?
Teheran
Quintana
Santana
Folty
Wisler
I think at least Teheran, Quintana and Folty stick long term too
These packages don't even get the White Sox to answer the phone on a Quintana trade. He is currently are top 25 valued asset in the game. Guys with comparable value include Moncada, JBJ and Starling Marte.
He has a surplus value of $100m+, and would require multiple top 50 prospects to acquire.
Sorry guys... Enscheff had spoken and he has proven that he knows everything.

Either way, I think a deal for a pitcher like him and another guy like Santana/Shields/Garcia has to be made if we are going to truly compete. I've really enjoyed our current run and I think we could be a pretty decent team next year, but adding a really solid 2-3 type pitcher and an innings eater plus a Ramos/Cespedes (really solid bat) would put us with the wildcard contenders.
I wonder if the Dbacks are having buyer's remorse over Greinke. If so, what would it take to get him? Newcomb, Jace, Dustin Peterson, Gant and Krol?
