David Wells is finished with his hometown Padres, and it's possible that the career of one of baseball's most boisterous characters could be over. GM 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. Towers said he and Bud Black met with the Boomer on Tuesday night after the Padres' game in St. Louis.
