We like to start our day searching the web and reading articles about our beloved LA sports teams. It’s easy to get lost in the depth of the inter web, but luckily for you we have compiled a list of the most interesting and pertinent news stories for your morning reading pleasure. For this edition, let’s dive into the news surrounding the San Diego Padres.
According to Chris Cotillo of SB Nation the San Diego Padres and James Shields have agreed to a four-year deal:
“Multiple reporters had reported that the San Diego Padres were the favorites to land Shields and looks as if a deal is finally done.
The Padres have been very busy this winter with Shields being the latest addition. The addition of Shields adds to an already strong Padres starting rotation. A rotation of Shields, Andrew Cashner, Tyson Ross, and Ian Kennedy will be a force to be reckoned with in the competitive NL west.
James Shields is coming off a strong year where he had a 3.21 ERA as he and the Kansas City Royals advanced to the World Series before losing to the San Francisco Giants. He will get his shot at revenge in the NL West and he looks to be more than ready for the challenge.”

CaliSports News looks at two intriguing non-roster invitees to spring training with the San Diego Padres:
“Not surprisingly, the vast majority of non-roster invitees either wind up down on the farm, or released before the season begins to pursue opportunities with other clubs. Nevertheless, these non-roster players can sometimes make a big impact on a team’s season in unexpected ways.
Jose Valverde
Hard-throwing (and, um, eccentric) relief pitcher Jose Valverde will turn 37 during Spring Training for the Padres. Despite his last two seasons with a combined ERA of 5.63 in just 41 games spanning 40 innings, Valverde clearly believes there’s something left in the right arm that has thus far recorded 288 career saves in 626 major league appearances spanning 12 years.”
