Today in Blue Jays history In 1999, the Blue Jays traded Roger Clemens to the Yankees for David Wells, Graeme Lloyd, and Homer Bush. After the strike-shortened 1994 season, GM Pat Gillick resigned. To give a bit of background, he put together a Blue Jays team that finished first in the AL East in 1985, 1989, 1991, 1992, and 1993 and won the World Series in 1992 and 1993. 1994 didn’t go as well. The Jays finished 55-60, finishing 15 games back.
He decided to leave Canada and pitch somewhere he would have a higher profile. Ash got a good return for Clemens. David Wells had a great two seasons for us, going 37-15 , before being traded to the White Sox for a broken Mike Sirotka and three guys who we would never hear of again. Wells would play for another seven seasons, bouncing from team to team, playing for the White Sox, Yankees , Padres, Red Sox, Padres , and Dodgers before running out of new clubs to join at age 44.
