Former Major League Pitcher Jared Wells has reached an agreement with Caribes de Anzoategui to pitch for them in the 2nd half of the 2011 Venezuelan Winter League season.
Jared was originally drafted by the San Diego Padres in the 31st round of the 2002 MLB Amateur Draft out of San Jacinto College, and was named California League “Pitcher of the Year” in 2005. On May 24, 2008, Jared made his Major League debut for the Padres. Shortly thereafter, he was traded to the Seattle Mariners for Korean pitcher Cha Seung Baek.
Jared spent 2009 with Seattle’s Triple-A and Double-A affiliates, and spent 2010 with the Houston Astros’ Triple-A and Double-A affiliates.
