Brian Wilson rumors: Giants, Cardinals, Rangers among teams interested

Wilson is currently trying to recover from his second Tommy John surgery.

One scout had Wilson’s fastball ranging from 90-93, and turned a positive report in on the right-handed reliever. The Pirates and Diamondbacks both lack closers at the moment, and could look to Wilson to fill that void for them. Another team that would make sense that has not yet been mentioned is Detroit, but they seem to be happy with the job Joaqin Benoit is doing.

Wilson is sure to be a valued-commodity when he is ready to sign, as he has a strong track record of success as a closer for the Giants. His career ERA out of the bullpen is 3.21, and his best single-season ERA was 1.81 in 2010.
