Angels just traded Vernon Wells to NYY

An order of nachos with plenty of jalepeños. 

A Nathan's hot dog and a deep dish pizza.

[Mark68]

Can't believe there are people actually questioning this trade.

What took so long?

 

F*cking Dipoto!

[Mark68]

Unknown forward what? He can play defense no question. He doesn't have to hit much to displace Wells offense. Calhoun isn't an unknown. How good his bat will be is not known yet but he has the right approach and can hit for power. He is a good bench depth player now who will develop into a quality every day player. 

There is a good amount of truth to this.

What kind of jelly?

KY?

@DCameronFG Dave, it's not 2/10, for sure. Could be 2/5, for all I know. Just told Angels will pay at least 32 of 42

[Mark68]

Anybody see the Yanks projected opening day lineup?

 

1 CF Brett Gardner*

2 RF Ichiro Suzuki*

3 2B Robinson Cano*  

4 3B Kevin Youkilis 

5 DH Travis Hafner*  

6 1B Juan Rivera

7 LF Brennan Boesch* vs RHP

I like the quote on MLB  Network.

 

"Yankees agree to acquire Vernon Wells from the Angels"

 

Who initiated this trade anyways?

Now it's really important for Bourjos and Trumbo to be productive this year.

There is no plan B now if those 2 struggle.

You say that like Wells was much of a Plan B in the first place.

5:42pm: The Yankees will pay less than $10MM of the remaining $42MM on Wells' contract, Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports writes (on Twitter).

 

That's not really worthy of a tweet. It seemed pretty obvious that the Yankees weren't going to pay that much. 

[Jason]

Trout, Bourjos, Hamilton, Trumbo and Calhoun as a reserve. Not too bad

More like a plan V. Or W.

[Jobu]

I'd they pay $6M it'll be great. That may be enough for a reliever at the deadline.

Buster Olney says the Yankees are taking on about 13 million

Nothing happens in baseball without the Yankees wanting it to happen.

@VernonWells10: Thankful and Blessed!

Phillies gave Delmon young $750+ incentives. Is Vernon any better than Delmon?

[Troll Daddy]

Good deal for the Yankees considering their current situation. Losing Wells does weaken our bench but maybe the money saved could be used for a player ... infield/pitcher?

WHOA PLEASE BE TRUE

[Angels_Make_Me_Drink]

WHOA PLEASE BE TRUE

Yes!! More than love this trade if this is so.

[ScottT]

That's nuts. Awesome, if true.  

[GregAlso]

Alright Chuck, can you at least leak some details!! I'm going back and forth from here to twitter to find out how much JeDi actually tricked the Yanks. Anxiously awaiting the info!!

[ScottT]

You think Chuck knows?
