Tigers lefty Wilson generating trade buzz
- Updated: December 7, 2016
NATIONAL HARBOR, Md. — The Tigers came to baseball’s Winter Meetings with veteran names in play for trades. Justin Wilson wasn’t expected to join them. But with a day and a half to go before teams return home for the holidays, the lefty reliever might be the most attractive Detroit pitcher on the market.
While Wilson has generated buzz around the lobby of the Gaylord National Resort & Convention Center, maybe more than outfielder J.D. Martinez, Tigers general manager Al Avila said Wilson has drawn the highest level of interest among their non-closing relievers.
That doesn’t necessarily mean Wilson is on the move, especially since Detroit isn’t deep in lefty relief. But if the Tigers are going to swing a deal here that saves a little bit of money and fills some needs, Wilson is an option.
