It was reported earlier this week that the Dodgers were targeting James Shields as their top priority this offseason.

However, the Rays placed a wrench in those plans when they exercised their $10.25 million option on Shields for the 2013 season.

It remains to be seen if the Dodgers will try to work out a deal with the Rays or perhaps shift their attention to free agent Zack Greinke, who finished the 2012 season with the Angels.
