Wells To Cubs?

A possible trade between the Blue Jays and Cubs involving Vernon Wells and Milton Bradley reportedly "has legs."

"It's early on, but we think this one has some legs," a Cubs official told the Toronto Sun. "But they aren't the only team we are talking with."

Bradley, who was suspended by the Cubs near the end of the season, has two years and $21 million left on his contract.

Wells has an unsightly six years and $107 million remaining on his deal, including the final $8.5 million portion of his signing bonus.
