The Pirates have had lots of interest in lefty Justin Wilson, and they are willing to listen to offers, FOX Sports' Jon Morosi writes (Twitter link). The hard-throwing Wilson posted a 2.08 ERA with 7.2 K/9 and 3.4 BB/9 in his first full season for the Pirates last season. The Pirates are likely to be on the lookout for a first baseman, a starting pitcher and a backup infielder. They have a second cost-controlled bullpen lefty in Tony Watson and have had recent success acquiring relievers on the cheap, so they may feel Wilson is expendable for the right price.

Yes, I would.
Why was Wilson not better in the minors? Seems to have incredible stuff.
Control issues. Was always a flame thrower but had trouble with control. It’s what got him bumped from starter to reliever.
I have no problem with selling high on bullpen arms, especially with the way NH has been able to assemble bullpens. It would need to be a pretty good haul though.
