What worries me is when his salary is ONLY $500,000 in 2008. That's minor league. How is he going to live? Should we take up a collection?
I can just see it now. By 2011, when he becomes really pricey, the Jays will be scrambling to unload him. By that time, the no trade clause will not matter as Wells can terminate it. And gee, he will be the only one left that I know of. That's the sad part of it.
I am really happy that they signed him long-term. Hopefully he doesn't go by Delgado way when fans and management alike seemed to want to get rid of him because of the payroll budget.
