Report: Tigers' Wilson getting lots of interest from clubs

Rick Osentoski / USA TODAY Sports

Of all the stars on the Detroit Tigers' roster, it's Justin Wilson who's apparently getting the most love from other clubs.

The Tigers have "perhaps" gotten more inquiries about the left-hander than any other trade candidate on the team, reports Jon Morosi of FOX Sports.

Over four seasons, Wilson has proven to be one of the more consistent relievers in the game.

Last season, he owned a 4.14 ERA over 58 2/3 innings of work, striking out 65 batters in the process. While it's to be expected that he's a lefty specialist, Wilson's splits are actually better against right-handed hitters.

Split SO/W BA/OBP/SLG
Vs. LHH 5.75 .308/.344/.429
Vs. RHH 3.23 .234/.299/.369

Over his last 15 appearances of the 2016 season, Wilson gave up just four runs, including one home run.
