Do you think the Yankees demoting Melky and releasing Sexson is opening up the signing of Vernon Wells?

Question

'Signing" can be the result of a trade for the less informed in the group. The Blue Jays have put him on waivers so it is not a far-fetched idea that they did it for a reason. At least one team must have interest.

Answer 1

The Jays Arent Leting The Yankees in the Same Division Get Wells,Plus do u think wells wants to go to a non contending team, Wells has a no trade clause

Answer 2

i think it says, we are not going to make the playoffs.

Answer 3

No

I just think that they sent down melkey to give him a wake up call

they didnt trade him & kennedy for santana even though both had had sub par seasons i doubt they have given up on them....yet

Answer 4

They can't sign Vernon Wells, they would have to trade for him.  He is under contract until 2014.

Answer 5

Instead of signing another bat to a huge contract they should focus on signing a young pitcher in the offseason.

Answer 6

They should focus on pitching not batting. I don't think they need another bat.

Answer 7

Doubtful. They released Sexson because he sucks.

The Jays probably placed Wells on waivers to see if there was interest - not because they already had interest. Given his salary and injuries it's unlikely other teams will pick him up.

As for the Yankees picking him up: very doubtful, for one reason: Vernon Wells can't pitch. The Yankees are already full of injury prone veterans, why would they add another one? But...you never know. They may see winning a bunch of 10-9 games as their only option this year.
