this time the Sox really mean it, and Manny's departure from Fenway is imminent. I hope that Angels fans enjoy life on Planet Man-Ram.
As for Wells, yes, I was thinking it would probably take a $20 million yearly salary to keep him in Toronto. An extension for Wells from the Jays (of that magnitude) would definitely be out of character for JP after all of the issues the Delgado contract caused him ... and this would be MORE money ... and probably a longer term.
That being said, what a sign of a commitment to win that would be, but I believe the Jays and their fans would be in for some lean times in 2-3 years when Rogers would then tighten the purse strings.
