I saw it on ESPN breaking news.

Vernon Wells and Juan Rivera are headed to the Angels as part of the Mike Napoli trade. http://api.twitter.com/Ken_Rosenthal/st ... 3570034689

The Angels are desperate for a big bat...they shouldve tried to trade for someone better than Wells though

I could care less. As long as they take Wells and we don't pay anything, I didn't care what we were getting back.

this deal is f*cking hysterical

just saw this kevin goldstein tweet that about sums up the trade perfectly

$5 million to the #Angels is the equivalent of beating the **** out of a guy at a bar and then buying him a drink because you feel bad.

Did the Blue Jays get Reagins drunk or something last night?

So that's a big "bat". Should have just went after Vlad and saved yourself some cash.

Shameless. Chewed Up. Hilarious.

Not only is Napoli a better hitter than Wells, he is also a better defensive player. Then they get the Angels to take on that brutal contract. The only way this trade is even is if the Jays throw in 50+ million. That is how lopsided this deal is. Quite possibly the worst trade ever at the time it happened.

I really can't believe that most LAA fans like this trade!
Though there outfield is fantastic defensively with Hunter,Wells and Bourjos

this might be one of the worst trades in a decade

taking on 80 mill AND giving up players to do so? TOR couldnt even give him away last year

Actually not really. Wells and Hunter have been declining defensively. Wells was at a time above average, but now he's a below average CF defensively.

Where do you see most fans liking the trade? I absolutely hate this deal, and know of a ton of people that agree with me.

You'd be surprised! Check out the official site of the Angels' (Forum) Some think it was an absolute steal for you guys.
