The Yankees are close to acquiring Vernon Wells from the Angels as they look to patch holes in their injury-riddled lineup.
Los Angeles is expected to eat a significant amount of the veteran's salary, but New York will still pay $5 million to $7 million of his contract in 2013 and 2014.
Last season, Wells batted .232 against right-handed pitching, .227 against lefties.
