Add in getting rid of Wells contract, with 86 million still owed (he's hitting .190 with 6 HR, 17 RBI, and .549 OPS, which is really terrible)

Even though AA sent 5 million, and took on 9.25 (Rivera and Francisco), that money saved is a huge plus. Combined, Rivera and Francisco's WAR is 0.1, not good but Wells is actually -0.3. A replacement level player would be an improvement. 86 million more......
