Bye-Bye Baek

Cha Seung Baek ('00) is now in the San Diego Padre organization.

M's trade for Padres' Wells

Ah, that headline would have excited a little more 12 months ago. After all, a guy like David Wells could have kept things interesting around here for what promises to be a dismal four months to come. But no, it's not David making his way to Seattle. A guy named Jared Wells has been picked up in exchange for Cha Seung Baek. He's a living, breathing body. What else? Well, actually, all snarkiness aside, there is some potential here. But a lot has to happen first.

This is the same Jared Wells who pitched for Fort Wayne in 2004. He tossed a seven-inning complete game against the Rattlers in the first game of a doubleheader on May 2, 2004 and gave up one run on four hits.
