If I remember correctly, the deal was all but agreed with Detroit for David Wells but out of nowhere Mo started throwing gas. They put the deal on hold to see if the velocity was for real (it obviously was), and sure enough, they kept him. I think Wells then got sent to Cincinnati but I could be wrong about that. Sherman then said that Rivera was almost dealt again in spring training to Seattle the following season for middle infield help since Steinbrenner didn't trust Jeter. Funny how things work out right?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
