This would definitely help the M's get stronger up the middle. I just don't know if the Pirates would want Betancourt for that long but it could possibly work out for both teams. Pirates would finally be getting rid of Jack Wilson after mahy, many rumors.Mariners officials have discussed with the Pirates a possible trade for shortstop Jack Wilson. It cited Mariners shortstop Yusniesky Betancourt as Seattle's potential chip in such a deal: He's a 27-year-old, Cuban right-hander who averages .281 for his career with similar production to Wilson. Betancourt is owed $2 million this season, $3 million next year, $4 million in 2011 with a $6 million club option or a $2 million buyout in '12.
