As expected, the Rays have picked up the $7.5 million option for RHP James Shields for next season, according to agent Page Odle.
Shields, 29, is coming off a spectacular bounce-back season in which he racked up a major-league high 11 complete games and earned his first All-Star selection. He won 16 games and posted career-highs in innings 249 1/3 innings and strikeouts.
Shields’ option can escalate to $8 million depending on his finish in the AL Cy Young voting.
The Rays still have to decide on options for RHP Kyle Farnsworth ($3.3 million) and C Kelly Shoppach ($3.2 million) by midnight tonight.
a little longer. Ohmygodthankyou.
