Wilson has a 2.68 ERA and 55 strikeouts in 40.1 innings, making him a very attractive option as a late-inning lefty, particularly with the Baltimore Orioles asking a very high price for Zach Britton, the other coveted lefty reliever on the market. Wilson would fit in perfectly with Washington’s needs, at the very least.
