MLB News: Los Angeles Angels Trade Mike Napoli To Toronto Jays

News

A reported trade will shake up the AL East and West.

The Los Angeles Angels have reportedly traded catcher Mike Napoli and outfielder Juan Rivera to the Toronto Jays for outfielder Vernon Wells.

The Angels missed out on Carl Crawford and Adrian Beltre so to upgrade their offense they’ve turned to Vernon Wells who is owed $86 million over the next four years. Wells hit .273 with 31 HRs last season for the Jays.

Napoli hit 26 HRs last season, but asked for $6.1 million in arbitration.
