I think this is great, we need to keep Wells. If we don't it will be a huge step-back for an organization that is only a few steps away from winning for real. I say give Wells as much as he wants, he is one of the few players in the game that are actually worth it...he is a 5-tool player, great club house guy, and just an all around good person. Unlike Soriano, who is only a 4 tool guy at best (some might say a 3-tool, he definately can't play defense, and does he even have an arm?), and he is a complete and total head case. Good for the Jays to offer up a serious contract offer to a player who deserves it. Looks like we are gonna trade Reed Johnson me thinks and put Adam Lind in the field for good...I think Reed and a pitching prospect could land us a better starter than we would've gotten on the free agent market. As far as not following baseball anymore because of the contracts, would you rather the Jays not pay any money and lose all the freakin time? Jeez, they can't win with some fair-weather fans...
