Detroit Tigers: Predicting an Alex Wilson Trade

Alex Wilson was acquired from the Boston Red Sox in December 2014 alongside all-star Yoenis Cespedes and minor leaguer Gabe Speier. He was part of the trade that sent future Cy Young winner Rick Porcello to the Red Sox. While Porcello won a Cy Young award in 2016, his other two seasons in Boston have been horrible. The Detroit Tigers clearly won this trade. Alex Wilson has been a very solid reliever. While Cespedes only spent half a season in Detroit, won a Gold Glove that year and was traded to the New York Mets.
