ESPN.com - MLB - Red Sox, Padres close to completing Wells trade: "The Red Sox moved steadily toward the completion of a trade of veteran left-hander David Wells, identifying Class AAA catcher George Kottaras as the player they want if they complete a deal with the Padres."
Kottaras isn't Matt Kemp, but he is still a top prospect.
Unfortuantely, he catches and finds himself in the same spot Kelly Shoppach did - blocked by Jason Varitek.
I like this deal for the Red Sox, assuming Kottaras is the player.
I think the Padres will have paid too much for Wells in what amounts to a 6 or 7 team coin flip.
However, he may pitch well going home and would be worth a gamble for the last month of the season.
