What will happen with David Wells?
Terry Francona will continue to quarantine him and his potentially poisonous attitude from his impressionable kid pitchers. Theo will continue to try to trade him for something resembling equal value. In the next 10 days or so, the Sox will settle for a marginal prospect or two, Wells will head to a team on the West Coast, and ever so appreciative that the Sox granted his wish, he’ll rip Boston with his usual grace and class. In an ideal world, I’d love to see Wells remain here – a lefty who can win 15 games is a precious commodity, even one of Wells’s age (43) and shape (round). But if he doesn’t want to be here, you don’t want him to be here, if you know what that means.
