The Blue Jays have fielded a few trade inquiries about star outfielder Vernon Wells , league sources said. It appears Toronto has financial constraints, and it might consider trading Wells, who has six years remaining on his seven-year, $126-million contract.
It isn't necessarily to the ...

Or maybe it's bullshit-- it's ...
