AA is a fukin geniusComment -
Being a Jays fan this is a great trade for the Jays finally getting rid of Wells and his $23 million salary he's one of the most overrated players in baseball.Comment -
great move by AAComment -
Vernon Wells to Anahiem for Napoli and J Rivera
Toronto always trades thier good players, Wonder why they cant compete........... why have a team if you dont want to sign players to Nice contracts. I understand attendance isnt that good north of the border, If its that bad relocate!Comment -
Besides last year his numbers have been down since 2006
he is overpaidComment -
wells said himself he is
this clears up alot of space for the next couple years. this was one of the worst contracts in mlb history and AA found a way to get rid of it
AA is a fukin geniusComment -
toronto was solid last yearComment -
**** the angels. LETS GO OAKLANDComment -
when I see Napoli & Rivera I think Kenmore & WhirlpoolComment -
I really dont think that this is that bad of a a trade for torontoComment -
Wells would always perform during 'garbage time' to boost his stats. He certainly wore out his welcome in Toronto and with the new owner taking over (ROGERS), they probably told senior mgmt to take action. Not surprising he was here in TO last week watching Raptor game. The deal was probably done then...Comment -
Blue Jays = the new Expos.Comment -
Lucky Vernon, he has the bulk of his contract coming in the next 4 years and now gets to leave Toronto and the AL East for sunny LA and the AL West.
very curious to see how much money Toronto has to give up. Were the Angels that desperate after losing out on Carl Crawford (7yr/$142m) that they'd take on the rest of Wells 4yr/$86mComment -
The initial reports were wrong, Toronto isn't giving any money.Comment -
what a dumb fukkin trade for toronto for fuk sakes
Comment -
you're right
"The most stunning aspect of Friday's trade was that the Angels got no cash back from Toronto to help pay for what was considered one of the worst contracts in the sport"
Great trade for Toronto being able to unload that contractComment -
