Vernon Wells plans to retire after deal is up
Vernon Wells - OF - Los Angeles Angels
Feb. 25, 2013 - 3:45 PM ET

Vernon Wells plans to retire when his contract expires after the 2014 season.

Wells will "only" turn 36 that winter, but he thinks it will be time to devote more to his family at that point. He'll also have made close to $150 million over the course of his career, so he obviously won't need to take another job for the money. Wells, who batted just .230/.279/.403 in 2012, is interested in possibly owning a team eventually, perhaps with friend Torii Hunter.
