CBS Sports' Danny Knobler reports that the Angels are unlikely to trade outfielder Vernon Wells. Knobler hears that the Angels pursued trades in the weeks after signing Josh Hamilton, but that owner Arte Moreno wasn't willing to pay a substantial portion of the two years and $42 million left on Wells' contract. Unless Moreno caves, Wells will continue to be a ridiculously overpaid bench player for the Angels.
