Turns out the reason why the Padres talks with Shields stalled a bit before getting a deal done was due to them making a last ditch effort to get Cole Hamels instead.

Hamels agent and the Phillies refused so the Padres went right back to negotiating with Shields to get a deal done.

Phillies rumored to be interested in making a deal with the Red Sox for Hamels but the asking price is likely going to be too high to get anything done (Mookie Betts or Blake Swihart as the basis).
