Blue Jays nab high school lefty Wells in third round

The Blue Jays continued their recent trend of taking young high school arms with a lot of upside by using their third-round pick on left-hander Nick Wells. Wells was taken with the 83rd overall selection in the First-Year Player Draft. He has a commitment to the College of Charleston, but the Blue Jays will attempt to use the recommended slot value of $661,800 as motivation to turn pro.
