Inbox: Why did Yanks deal Wilson to Tigers?

Right-handers Luis Cessa and Chad Green were the No. 6 and No. 19 prospects in the Tigers' system, according to MLB Pipeline, but it was still a head-scratcher that seemed to suggest there might be another shoe to drop. Cashman said that he remains open to anything and that he's active in trade talks, but he is not necessarily looking to flip Cessa and Green, who project to begin the year at Triple-A.

Wilson is expected to earn about $1.6 million next season, so Cashman said that his salary wasn't enough to present an issue, though he did note that the lefty is heading into his money-making years.
