He'll probably be our starting C, and 3rd string 1st baseman.

starting 1B, from everything i've heard, Alex is extremely confident in Lind at 1B. E5 is probably gonna be back up 3B and pinch hitter

I wonder what we gave up. He's got decent power. I doubt we got him for a low-level prospect.

Oh, and Napoli is going to absolutely mash in the RC, wherever we decide to play him.

I like Wells, but damn, if AA got out of that contract without having to absorb most of it, then he is freakin' awesome. My man crush for AA might be increasing.

It's going to be weird seeing Wells not in a Jays uniform, and he had a great year last year but.... AA FOR PRIME MINISTER

One has to imagine the Jays paying part of Vernon's salary like they did Roy's.
They already gave him his big bonus for the coming season which covers a good part of this year's salary but damn, another $72 million to go after this season? I don't think anyone is crazy enough to do that trade unless the Jays are paying the overpayment - say, $10 million per season

So this is what Wells gets for admitting he's overpaid
