One of the more coveted pitchers on Major League Baseball’s trade market is off the board. The Chicago White Sox have acquired right-hander James Shields from the San Diego Padres in exchange for minor league prospects Erik Johnson and Fernando Tatis Jr. and cash considerations, the teams announced Saturday. Shields pitched well for San Diego this season despite his 2-7 record but went out on a sour note, getting crushed for 10 runs over 2 2/3 innings Monday and ballooning his 3.06 ERA to 4.28. The 34-year-old veteran and one-time All-Star will be a welcome addition on Chicago’s already-strong pitching staff, which is led by Cy Young can...

Padres Chairman Blasts James Shields, Calls His Team ‘Miserable Failures’
by Zack Cox on Thu, Jun 2, 2016 at 11:35AM 2,491 The 2016 San Diego Padres are not a very good baseball team. Just ask the man in charge. Padres executive chairman Ron Fowler eviscerated his team Wednesday in a local radio interview, calling the Padres a bunch of “miserable failures” after they lost 16-4 to the Seattle Mariners to wrap up a 1-7 road trip. “It’s been embarrassing. I don’t know how else to put it,” Fowler told Mighty 1090 AM, as transcribed by FOX Sports’ Ken...
LeBron James Offers To Pay Dahntay Jones’ Comically Small Fine For Low Blow
Dahntay Jones won’t have to adjust his personal budget, thanks to LeBron James’ generosity. James on Monday told reporters that he’ll cover Jones looming fine, which amounts to a whopping $ 80, according to Cleveland.com’s Joe Vardon. The NBA suspended Jones one game without pay for his low blow on the Toronto Raptors’ Bismack Biyombo on Saturday in Game 3 of the teams’ Eastern Conference finals. Cleveland signed Jones before its last regular-season game, and the veteran forward Jones only played one regular season game with Cleveland, earning around $ 8,800. The fine Jones must pay equals 1/110th of his 2015-16 salary, meaning he must fork o...
LeBron James Records 15th Playoff Triple-Double; Cavs Set NBA Records
There’s a reason they call LeBron James “The King.” James and the Cleveland Cavaliers just took home another blowout victory over the Toronto Raptors, this time by a 108-89 final in Game 2 of the Eastern Conference finals. The game was close for most of the first half, and the Raptors even were tied with Cleveland at 46 with four minutes remaining before halftime. But Cleveland closed those final 240 seconds on a 16-2 run to put the game away early. James finished with 23 points, 11 rebounds and 11 assists, his 15th career playoff triple-double, second all-time behind only Los Angeles Lakers great and Hall of Famer Magic Johnson.
Celtics Wrap: James Harden, Rockets Spoil Boston’s Home Win Streak
James Harden, Michael Beasley and the Houston Rockets spoiled the Boston Celtics’ home win streak, upending the Celtics in a 102-98 road victory Friday night at TD Garden. Harden led all scorers with 32 points, while Beasley contributed 18 off the bench for the Rockets in what amounted to a sloppy, close game the entire time. Isaiah Thomas scored a team-high 30 points for the Celtics, while Jared Sullinger added 24 points of his own. The loss drops Boston to 39-27 on the season, snapping their 15-game home win streak and a streak of nine consecutive games in which it scored 100 or more points. They now sit just a half game ahead
Patriots Injuries Allow Jonas Gray, James White To Shine In Preseason Loss
FOXBORO, Mass. — The New England Patriots’ once-crowded backfield is looking pretty roomy these days. Tyler Gaffney was added to injured reserve Thursday, and Brandon Bolden, Travaris Cadet, LeGarrette Blount and Dion Lewis sat out of the Patriots’ preseason opener against the Green Bay Packers with injuries. That left just Jonas Gray, James White and recently signed rookie Tony Creecy to take every snap in the Patriots’ backfield. Those injuries gave Gray and White an opportunity to prove they deserve key roles in the Patriots’ offense this season, and they stepped up. Gray ran for 74 yards on seven carries, including a 55-yard touch...
