Wilson Traded (no, not that Wilson)
By Bill • Jul 11th, 2008 • Category: News & Opinion
Craig Wilson, who signed a minor-league contract with the Pirates in April, has been traded to the Seattle Mariners for a player to be named.
Wilson was hitting .230 with 10 home runs and 27 RBIs at Triple-A this season.
Wilson played for the Pirates from 2001-2006, until he was traded to the Yankees for Shaun Chacon.
And after losing pitcher Bryan Bullington to the Indians, the Bucco’s made a trade with Cleveland, acquiring right-hander pitcher Dan Reichert and infielder/outfielder Ryan Mulhern for cash considerations.
Both players will be assigned to Triple-A Indianapolis.
