Wells on the Trading Block

According to espn.com, there's at least an 80% chance Wells is going to be traded in the next day or two.  

http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=2565280

He passed thru waivers right after his disastrous July 31 appearance, and as we all know, he's been pitching great since then, meaning he's got as great a tradeability as you could ask for in a one-month rental.

As banged up as we are, I take this as the clinching sign that we're throwing in the towel for this year, so hopefully whoever we land in a trade will be a useful prospect for the years to come.

Looks like a great move at this point
Given the Sox injury situation and current position in the standings it would take a minor miracle to make the playoff. Additionally it would only take one mistep by Wells to reinjure his knee. If we can get anything for him on the trade market we should make the deal. Maybe long term whatever we get plus Wily Mo will make up for trading Bronson.

According to Gordon Edes ...
The Sox are interested in Padres catching prospect George Kottaras for Wells.  Kottarais is currently with the Portland Beavers.  Here are his stats
I gotta go 'cause I'm probably definitely gonna nod out again.

I like this very much indeed.
Here's hoping.

Re: Wells on the Trading Block
Wells has been pulled from his start today to make him available for trade before midnight tonite (the deadline for traded players to still be elgible for playoffs) Looks like he indeed is getting traded....by the way, the pitcher taking his start...TRAVAREZ, this could be ugly

Taverez and ugly in the same sentence?
As I understand it, if Wells is traded before the game, Lenny DiNardo can be activated, and make the start.

Re: Taverez and ugly in the same sentence?
On the other hand, if Hatchet Face starts, we could see a record for most runs allowed by a starting pitcher in a single game. That could be interesting.
