The San Diego Padres have traded pitcher James Shields and cash to the Chicago White Sox for pitcher Erik Johnson and shortstop Fernando Tatis Jr. It came three days after Padres executive chairman Ron Fowler criticized the team's recent performances as being ''embarrassing'' and ''pathetic,'' and called out Shields for his poor start Tuesday at Seattle. Shields was one of several big-name players the Padres brought in before the 2015 season, giving him a $75 million, four-year deal.
