Wells is a tremendous human being from what I can tell and I'll always admire him for his days when he was regarded as an absolutely amazing MLB prospect. It's too bad his contact tainted him in the eyes of so many fans (myself included) but that is just how the business works.
This trade has to put the rebuilding process at least a year or two ahead of current expectations. There's really nothing bad to say about it. Great job AA, you appear to have an incredibly bright future as an MLB GM.
