The last remaining link to the Los Angeles Angels 2002 World Series winning team, Scot Shields, could have made its last appearance on Tuesday night, according to Mike DiGiovanna of the Los Angeles Times.
“It’s all to be determined,” Shields said, when asked about a possible return to the Angels. “I understand the business side of it. You look at our bullpen now, and there are a lot of young guys who can really throw the ball. The future is definitely bright here.”
