Padres downed by blunders, Rangers http://t.co/iGDgdrEfPA And, yes, the Pads have asked other teams about possible interest in Shields

Buster Olney of ESPN.com reported that James Shields could be a possiblty for the Chicago Cubs and Los Angeles Dodgers if the Padres are serious about moving him.
If SD goes into full-blown sell mode, James Shields could be a really interesting target for teams like the Cubs/LAD as mid-range solution.

James Shields has been one of the few bright spots for the Padres this season. He currently sports a 7-3 record with a 3.88 ERA.
Onley also reported that Craig Kimbrel is also a possibility to be moved.
Part of the equation for SD in trading Shields (or Kimbrel, for that matter) would be to recover some needed future financial flexibility.

The Padres will have so decisions to make this month with the trade deadline looming. They will most likely have to part ways with some of their starters in order to grab some prospects for the future.
