San Diego ? David Wells is in trouble again, and this time the punishment is coming straight from commissioner Bud Selig.

The San Diego Padres left-hander has been fined $5,000 for comments he made last month, after he was suspended seven games and fined $3,000 for his argument with an umpire who ejected him on July 7.

Wells said he’ll appeal the new fine, just as he’s appealing the original punishment.

“What happened to our First Amendment, freedom of speech?” Wells said before the Padres played Barry Bonds and the San Francisco Giants.
