Kip Wells has retired from baseball. Wells will pursue a front office or scouting job. The 36-year-old never reached the high expectations for him but still carved out a 12-year MLB career, putting up a 4.71 ERA for nine different teams at the major league level.

Angels released RHP Kip Wells. Wells had a 10.36 ERA and 2.34 WHIP through 24 1/3 innings (six starts) at Triple-A Salt Lake. The 36-year-old righty will look to latch on with a new organization.

Angels signed RHP Kip Wells to a minor league contract. Wells went unsigned this offseason after posting a 4.58 ERA in 37 1/3 innings for the Padres last season. The Angels will use Wells as starting rotation depth with Jered Weaver (elbow) expected to miss 4-6 weeks.

According to CBS Sports' Jon Heyman, free agent Kip Wells threw in front of Phillies "people" on Tuesday. Heyman says Wells showed a "good breaking ball [and] changeup." But it's not clear whether the Phillies are going to make a formal offer. Wells, who turns 36 years old in April, posted an ugly 4.58 ERA and 19/20 K/BB ratio in 37 1/3 innings last season for the Padres.

Evan Drellich of MLB.com reports that free agent right-hander Kip Wells threw a bullpen session for the Mariners on Wednesday. Wells, who will turn 36 in April, had a 4.58 ERA and 19/20 K/BB ratio over 37 1/3 innings with the Padres last season. The Mets expressed interest in him earlier this winter, but he'll almost certainly have to settle for a minor league pact.

Evan Drellich of MLB.com reports that the Mets are among three teams interested in free agent right-hander Kip Wells. Wells, who will turn 36 in April, had a 4.58 ERA and 19/20 K/BB ratio over 37 1/3 innings with the Padres last season. He'll almost certainly have to settle for a minor league deal with a spring training invite.

Padres sent RHP Kip Wells outright to Triple-A Tucson. Wells could have refused the assignment, but he's not going to find a better situation. The veteran righty is far from a guarantee to return later this season.

Kip Wells allowed five runs on five hits, four walks and two home runs in 4 1/3 innings of Wednesday's loss to the Reds. Wells struck out just two, and served up first-inning homers to Zack Cozart and Ryan Ludwick. Both the non-quality start and sub-five inning appearance were his third in four outings. He could be soon meeting the same fate as Jeff Suppan. As it is, Wells will bring a 4.58 ERA, 1.63 WHIP and 19/20 K/BB ratio into his Monday home start against the Padres.

Kip Wells pitched a solid ballgame in Friday's victory over the Marlins, allowing two runs on five hits over six strong frames. Wells fanned four while walking two on the evening. Jose Reyes tripled home a run in the fourth inning, then came around to score on a single from Carlos Lee, but that was the extent of the Marlins offense against him. While he's a very shaky option in fantasy leagues, the 35-year-old journeyman has produced relatively solid results for the Padres, posting a 2-3 record and 3.82 ERA over his first six starts. He'll look to keep the ball rolling when he does battle against the Reds in Cincinnati on Wednesday.

The Padres have announced that Kip Wells will start on Monday against the Astros. Ross Ohlendorf will follow Wells in the rotation and pitch on Tuesday. While neither are high quality options in mixed leagues, they surely have value in NL-only formats, especially when pitching at spacious PETCO park.
