Forget James Shields

Rays exercise his option. Translation, I don't think he will be traded. But I could be wrong.

Any word on SAM FULD! or pr0FF3ss0r_F4rnsw0rth?

The Twins memes were hurting in 2011.

Well....if they didn't exercise his option, he probably wouldn't be traded.

He’d just become a free agent.

Nope he wouldve headed to arbitration

Which wouldve been 10M plus instead of the 7 M he is going to make, im also a rays fan

Ahhh, I see.

So if they didn’t exercise his option, they’d non-tender him. And he’d become a free agent anyway. Good catch, though, I didn’t realize he was still arb-eligible.

If the Rays did want to trade him, they’d have to pick up that option first.
