Wells DFA by Padres

[E.J.]

Ken Rosenthal[/url]"]The Padres plan to cut ties with veteran left-hander David Wells on Thursday.

 

According to a major-league source, Wells, 44, will be designated for assignment and simultaneously placed on release waivers, giving the Padres three days to trade him.

 

Wells is owed just slightly under $1 million for the rest of the season and is earning approximately $170,000 per start in incentive bonuses. He could appeal to another contender in need of starting pitching, including possibly the Padres' NL West rivals, the Dodgers.

Before anyone says anything, no more left handers.

I wonder what the implications are regarding his pending suspension. certainly it is both the player and the team that should suffer, but it looks like the Padres may weazel out of the roster harm caused by one of their players misbehavior once again.

[radarluv1]

i agree that the cards will be all over him.

[CraziCub]

We should try to get all the lefthanders we can get just so we don't have to face them.

[Cynosure]

LOL Isn't Wells the one who gave up like 10 runs in one inning to the Cards?

[TruffleShuffle]

i'll say one thing about david wells - he's definitely fat

[Cynosure]

But used to be a good pitcher :-\

[Backtobanks]

Oh my God I pray the Yankees sign him.

 

Yeah, let the Yankees have him because if he's in the NL he will shut us out every time we face him.
