Welcome to the National League, "Big Game James" Shields.
The last big-name on the free-agent market, Shields reportedly has agreed to a four-year deal to pitch for the San Diego Padres. The deal, said to include a club option, is worth as low as $72 million US and as high as $78 million, several media outlets reported.
The Toronto Blue Jays, Chicago Cubs and Miami Marlins were also believed to have interest in the 33-year-old right-hander, who spent the first nine seasons of his major league career in the American League, most recently for the AL champion Kansas City Royals.
Shields, who has thrown the most innings in the majors over the past eight seasons, joins an already strong starting rotation that includes Andrew Cashner, Tyson Ross and Ian Kennedy.
In 34 starts for Kansas City last season, Shields had a 14-8 record, 3.21 earned-run average and 180 strikeouts in 227 innings.
He wasn't nearly as effective in the 2014 post-season, going 1-2 in five outings with a 6.12 ERA.
