ANAHEIM -- While most of New England was sleeping Friday night, Red Sox general manager Theo Epstein worked late into the night 3,000 miles away, completing the first day of the Winter Meetings by agreeing to terms on a two-year contract with free agent left-hander David Wells.
The club hasn't officially announced the deal yet, which is pending a physical that Wells is likely to take in Boston early next week.
While the Red Sox remain focused on trying to keep Pedro Martinez in a Boston uniform, Wells (who will turn 42 on May 20) gives the rotation another veteran presence, and one who has pitched in countless big games during his career.
Wells, AKA "Boomer", is known mostly to Boston fans for his years as a nemesis in Yankee pinstripes.
The finalists for Wells were the Red Sox and Indians. In the end, Boston prevailed.
