Pads to cut ties with David Wells, whose colorful career could be over

[Baseball Guru]

SAN DIEGO (AP) -- David Wells is finished with his hometown San Diego Padres, and it's possible that the career of one of baseball's most boisterous characters could be over.

General manager Kevin Towers said Wednesday that the Padres will cut ties with the struggling 44-year-old left-hander on Thursday in order to activate All-Star Chris Young from the disabled list.

Today's NY Post reports that the Padres have put in a waiver claim on Kei Igawa.

Too bad, it just wouldn't be the same without Wells pitching somewhere. Bummer :nod:

You know, I figure ol' Boomer will be an interesting sight, when he uh...has time to get out of shape.

haha. If this is it, I wish him the best. I loved watching him and wondering how the hell he did it. Y'know, he'll find a broadcasting job or something. ESPN always needs another overweight "analyst" (ex: John Kruk)...

You know, both of them on the same analyzing panel might actually be worth watching :nod: :nod: :clapping
