Hard to see that being a fit for KC.

Agree on developing star pitching internally. Must do a better job of that.
Obviously not as many years... but $20 mil or so a year? I mean is that any worse than giving $14 million to Santana? I don't think it'll happen but it's not completely outrageous. I think Shields is more consistent than Santana, and more important to the success of this pitching staff. He's a fastball/changeup guy, he stays in good shape, so he might age well.

I'm not sure Shields is getting $25M a year. We'll see though. It also makes sense from DM's perspective because it also helps justify the Myers trade.
