The First of Many Jack Wilson Rumors
Raise the Jolly Roger —
I can guarantee we'll hear plenty more tidbits like this one over the next few months: The Pirates, talking about shortstop Jack Wilson with several clubs, are trying to acquire catcher Matt Treanor from the Marlins, then spin both players to the Tigers, according to one major-league source.

Rafael Furcal May Stay on the West Coast, Though Not in Los Angeles
FanHouse —
by Pat Lackey Filed under: Athletics, Dodgers, Giants, AL West, NL West, MLB RumorsWith all of the hype surrounding Manny Ramirez, CC Sabathia, and even guys like A.J.

The Pirates aren't likely to do a whole lot of interest this winter, but they're probably going to do something and the past few weeks have been brutal in their absence of Pirate news. On Sunday, the Detroit Free Press reported on the long-running "Jack Wilson to the Tigers" saga, which is unsurprisingly being revisited again this winter ...
