Yankees Trade Justin Wilson to Detroit Tigers for Two Prospects

Just one day after packaging reliever Adam Warren in a trade to the Cubs in order to acquire Starlin Castro, Brian Cashman dealt yet another important piece of the Yankees bullpen.

This time it was 28-year old southpaw Justin Wilson, and he was traded to the Detroit Tigers for a pair or right handed pitching prospects – Luis Cessa and Chad Green.

Justin Wilson was acquired last off season from the Pittsburgh Pirates in exchange for backup catcher Francisco Cervelli.
