Nearly 16 months after the Tigers came close to acquiring him at the 2007 trade deadline, the team is interested in obtaining shortstop Jack Wilson from the Pittsburgh Pirates, an industry official confirmed to the Free Press on Friday. Wilson is due $7.25 million in 2009 and $8.4 million (or a $600,000 buyout) in 2010. In that respect, he fits an important criterion in the Tigers' search for a shortstop: Wilson's contract is short enough that prospect Cale Iorg could inherit the everyday job at some point in 2010.
