Bob Elliott is a pretty respected writer and not a guy that would throw around a rumour just because another writer put it out there.
I am not saying it is true or not but I would give Elliott the benefit of the doubt.

Nobody will take the worst contract in baseball off the Jays' hands. Bradley's contract and attitude could be taken by some other team with Chicago paying a bit of it + prospects, so why would they want to take on $20M in Wells' albatross? Just makes no sense for any team to take the guy. He hasn't shown enough potential in years for any team to bother even taking the chance.

Chicago doesn't really have to care about money since they make so much already.
Why give up prospects if you can get a player that may be able to get back some form and help you out?
Look at the other guys they are looking at they aren't exactly all-stars with great contracts either.
