The Toronto Blue Jays have initiated talks that would send American League MVP George Bell to the New York Yankees for outfielder Dave Winfield, according to the New York Daily News and Newsday.
Toronto Manager Jimy Williams is attempting to move Bell from left field to designated hitter, and Bell has balked at the move.
Any trade of Winfield would require his permission because he is a 10-year veteran and has been with the same club for five years.
Newsday also reported the Blue Jays are interested in Baltimore Orioles shortstop Cal Ripken Jr. for Bell.
