Vernon Wells calls out Blue Jays current management during interview

«In my opinion, there's enough talent in that room to win,» he says, but he's also been on enough teams similarly talented that didn't win to know how difficult it can be to piece everything together.

«There's also the chemistry. There's also just a feeling of togetherness and I don't know if it's in that room or not because I'm not in there,» Wells, who helped coach at the Futures Game during all-star week, continues. «But I do know from past experience, if the focus is on other things or if there's any distraction whatsoever, just the smallest thing, you take away from the game. And as hard as this game is, you can't have any distractions.»

Wells remembers summers like that, where «we got to the break and if we weren't playing well, there was the fear of losing guys» in deadline deals. «You'd see the potential in that room to be a really good team and you'd hope at some point everything's able to come together and turn it around,» he says. «That being said, you're still playing against the best players in the world who are trying to do the same thing. There's no magic sauce to it. If they're able to get it going (this summer), there's enough talent in that clubhouse to put together a good streak. But it not, there could be the potential for a lot of changes, which I don't necessarily want to see at this point.»
