I see no way how this trade can be a win for both teams... Wells has probably the worst contract in baseball... its amazing the Angels made the trade with no cash in return...

Wells was 12th in total bases and 17th in MLB in Slugging last season... He isn't a good CF anymore, but the Angels have a superstar defensive CF. Wells will play LF and be 2nd after Crawford at that position.
The Angels win because they have upgraded their team without giving up anything of value. Their goal is to win. They missed out on all the big FA's.
I think it is a terrific trade for the Jays, and Anaheim def showed some panic, however, Wells when healthy is a great player. His off year he played through injuries because he was the team leader and knew/knows his contract is way too high.
He is a true proffesional and I wish him nothing but success
