The Sox have told David Wells and his agent, Greg Clifton, that they intend to move the lefthander, likely to the San Diego Padres in a deal that could bring center fielder Dave Roberts and a pitcher back to Boston. But the Padres have been waiting for the Red Sox to get their management team together. The Sox also might be contemplating a last-ditch effort to keep Wells. One way to do it might be to guarantee Wells's contract, which maxes out at $9 million, or to rework the deal and extend it. Clifton said Wells was still adamant about wanting to play near his home in San Diego, as of Friday. The Sox might also be waiting to see what else is out there for starters; they might be interested in A.J. Burnett (along with eight other teams) or Kevin Millwood.
