Justin Wilson to Tigers: Latest Trade Details, Comments and Reaction

The Detroit Tigers bullpen was a disaster last season, so the team reportedly added some reinforcements Wednesday in the form of left-handed setup man Justin Wilson.

According to Jennifer Hammond of Fox 2 Sports Detroit, the Tigers acquired Wilson from the New York Yankees. MLB Roster Moves said Detroit gave New York right-handed pitchers Luis Cessa and Chad Green in the deal.

Wilson posted a 3.10 ERA, 1.13 WHIP and 66 strikeouts in 61 innings for the Yankees last season. He also pitched three years for the Pittsburgh Pirates before New York landed him in a trade that sent catcher Francisco Cervelli Pittsburgh's way.
