Imagine if Toronto wins the lottery twice in one year all courtesy of Chicago (the first win being the Rios to Chisox deal).

Don't get me wrong, I hate Wells as a Jay fan and he is overpaid.
But, he may bounce back, just two seasons ago, he was often injured but in 108 games had 78 rbi, 20hr, and batted .300
But, if the Jays can do this trade, do it.

Your right, two lotteries win, save 35 million on two players.

As a Jays fan, I'd rather keep Wells and pray for a long-awaited rebound, than have angry Milton on board.

The Cubs could then have maybe the two worst contracts in baseball.....Soriano and Wells.

Is it time to over-spend for a player that is way past his due date already?

Wells gets, I think, 20 million per year to be amongst the weakest hitting center fielders in baseball. If the Jays could swap Wells for Bradley straight up they should do it and just release Bradley and eat the (I believe) two years remaining on his contract. They'll save a ton of money.

Wells had a terrible year-
but he's not as bad as he was-
Bradley is, well.....permanantly insane-
I'd rather have Wells- but if this will prevent the Cubs from
making anyother moves- it's dumb....

Shipping damaged goods to Canada? Isn't that in violation of trade agreements? Great, now Canada will hate us too.

Unless Wells has completely burned every bridge in every province in Canada, there is no way the BJ's make this deal...

As a Mets fan, I'd offer the Jays Luis Castillo for Wells. But they'd have to throw in Halladay otherwise its not a fair deal.

Why not?
Wells: 10:$12.5M, 11:$23M, 12:$21M, 13:$21M, 14:$21M
Bradley: 10:$9M, 11:$12M
Why wouldn't the Blue Jays want to save 77.5 Million dollars with this trade? Seems like a no brainer on the Blue Jays end to me.

Oh... I don't know... maybe because the guy is a nutcase?

If I'm the Jays, I'd tried Vernon Wells for a slice of Chicago pizza (I'd even throw in a couple grand for pizza delivery costs).

There's not enough violence in canada with the exception of hockey which is really like a Barney the Dinosaur version of the MMA. I say trade this psychopath to Canada and let them get their blood going a little bit. Pacifist humps!

Nutcase yes, but it???s not like he is going to screw up championship caliber chemistry in Toronto, you don't think it would be worth it to put up with crazy ass Milton for two years for that kind of money? The Jays could resign Halladay and still save 40 million over 5 years to spend on FA's and whatnot.
