Buster Olney of ESPN.com reports that James Shields is among the pitchers being targeted by the Reds. It's not clear if any official talks have taken place, but Olney notes that Rays' scouts have been scouting Reds' minor leaguers this week. Shields signed a four-year extension with the Rays back in 2009 that includes a series of affordable club options from 2012-2014. The 29-year-old right-hander has enjoyed a fantastic bounceback season, posting a 2.60 ERA and 145 strikeouts over 148 2/3 innings, so whoever wants him will have to ante up.
