The New York Yankees and Los Angeles Angels are closing in on a trade that would send outfielder Vernon Wells and a large amount of cash to the Bronx, sources told Yahoo! Sports on Sunday.
Vernon Wells is close to becoming a Yankee, according to sources. While Wells has a no-trade clause, he informed the teams he would accept a deal to the Yankees, one source told Y! Sports
Two years and $42 million remain on the seven-year, $126 million deal Wells signed with Toronto. The Blue Jays dealt Wells to Los Angeles for Mike Napoli and Juan Rivera in January 2011.
