The Dodgers continue to have an extensive interest in acquiring shortstop Jack Wilson from the Pittsburgh Pirates. Talks continued today with the main obstacle reportedly being Wilson's $7.25 million contract, which the Dodgers want the Pirates to absorb the majority of.
The Pirates have reportedly required that Chin-Lung Hu be part of any Wilson deal.
Wilson would fill a vital hole in the Dodgers' off-season plans. With shortstop Rafael Furcal leaving through free agency, Wilson could provide a capable bat and a defensive upgrade over Furcal. Wilson hit a career-high .308 in 2004 and is a career .269 hitter. He is also a Southern California native, having spent his collegiate career at Oxnard College.
