The Angels did get the better player, and I don't think the Jays would've traded Wells had he been making 5-8 million less per year. Wells is a risky player and could be 09' bad, or 10' decent. That kind of uncertainty is not someone that you'd want to spend 80+ million on over the next 4 years.


The Jays could easily transfer those funds into signing a legit guy who's worth 20 million per after next season, or a couple 10+ million guys
