How about James Shields for the Rangers rotation?

The Rangers are looking to add another starter for the pennant stretch.   How about James Shields currently with Chicago White Sox?   Here are some reasons:

1) He is not a rental.   He will be here in 2017;

2) He's pitched a lot of innings:   2, 235 innings, 132 wins, 1,928 Ks over 11 seasons.    

3) You can probably get Shields without giving up Gallo or Profar; and,

4) Shields pitched with Tampa and KC in the post season.

So who knows what will  happen this weekend?   I'm sure that GM Daniels and others are working the phone.

Shields and another bullpen arm will help Texas.
