Wilson has a 2.29 ERA, 10 saves, and 50 strikeouts in 35.1 innings. He would be a quality option for teams unwilling to pay the king’s ransom the Baltimore Orioles are likely demanding for Zach Britton.
For Detroit, after what was considered by some to be a mediocre return for outfielder J.D. Martinez, the Tigers may just get a better package for Wilson.
