I've been wondering if the Royals might kick the tires on Shields for a while.
He could fill Jeremy Guthrie's role of eating 200+ innings while giving our bullpen some much needed relief.
Davis, Herrera and Holland were all ridden hard over the past two seasons (not at all the fault of Yost, but this is inevitable when you make two runs into deep October). If the Royals can find a way to get the Padres to eat some of that contract, there's a decent chance that Dayton would be interested.
