Pirates Notebook: Wilson waives no-trade clause

Wilson: Made a list of all persons he had harmed, and became willing to make amends to them all.

Shortstop Jack Wilson has informed the Pirates he will accept a trade to any of the six teams named in his limited no-trade clause, including the Detroit Tigers.

The Pirates and Tigers continue to discuss a multiplayer deal that would send Wilson to Detroit, and Wilson wanted it known to all concerned that he would do nothing to disrupt it. He also would be open to trades to other teams.

...Detroit’s need for Wilson was heightened, to a degree, by the news yesterday that backup infielder Neifi Perez was suspended 80 games for a positive test for amphetamines. Wilson surely would play a more prominent role than Perez did, but Tigers manager Jim Leyland has said he wants to have three players capable of playing shortstop entering the playoffs, and he essentially is down to Carlos Guillen.
