The Dodgers are no longer involved in David Wells trade talks with the Red Sox and A's. The Diamondbacks, though, are showing mild interest in the left-hander, according to the Boston Globe.
Orlando Hernandez, Alex Cintron and Luis Terrero for Wells? It might make sense if either Cintron or Terrero was good enough to paly regularly for a contender. The Red Sox were considering getting Jay Payton from the A's in a deal that would have sent Wells to the Dodgers and prospects to Oakland. If neither the Dodgers nor the Padres are in the mix, the Red Sox may be out of possibilities. There's been no sign that the Angels are interested, though Wells for Darin Erstad would make some sense for both teams. The A's could consider Wells for themselves in the unlikely event that they trade Barry Zito prior to Opening Day. Jan. 15 - 3:55 am et

I can't say I'd be thrilled with this trade, but, then again, is Wells even worth three guys at this point in his career? Terrero's and Cintron's OBPs are dismissal, they have little power and are average fielders. El Duque is a FA at the end of 2006, so maybe this is just a contract dump with the hopes of finding a diamond(back) in the rough?
