The Tampa Bay Rays may trade right-hander James Shields before the trade deadline but Bob Nightengale of USA Today reports that the offer made by the Los Angeles Angels wasn't enough.
Nightengale says the Angels offered centerfielder Peter Bourjos and were rebuffed, though there may have been more to the offer, considering ESPN Insider Jim Bowden's tweet last weekend that suggested a much larger offerwas being discussed.
Shields could also be of interest to the Los Angeles Dodgers if they can't get a deal don with the Cubs for Ryan Dempster or Matt Garza, and the Atlanta Braves are in the same boat. The Texas Rangers could also have strong interest in Shields.All three clubs arenamed by Jon Heyman as being in on Shields.
FOXSports.com reported early Thursday that the Angels are also eyeing Ray right-hander Wade Davis, who has spent this season in the bullpen but is a starter by trade and could be transitioned back to the rotation.
