Yankees deep in trade talks for Vernon Wells

Jeff Passan of Yahoo! Sports reports that the Yankees are in trade talks with the Angels regarding Vernon Wells and a deal "could be done today."
Passan adds that "lots of money would go back to New York" in the deal, which, of course, is a given with Wells having $42 million left on his contract. Wells has a full no-trade clause and has embraced a backup role with the Angels, but perhaps he'd be willing to waive it for what would be an uptick in playing time. The 34-year-old would figure to play pretty regularly in left field until Curtis Granderson returns. Wells has batted just .222/.258/.409 over the last two seasons.

They need to go after Alfonso Soriano not Vernon Wells. He hasnt been able to live up to that contract and I know Soriano hasnt either, but Soriano has been much more productive. He previously played with the Yankees so he can handle playing in NY and he is still a good power hitter playing at Wrigley, moving to Yankee Stadium would be great for him.
