Looking At Wilson

Wilson was picked in the 4th round of the 2016 MLB Draft by the Braves.
He spent the first 3.5 seasons of his career with the franchise.
In that span, Wilson went 5-4 with a 5.90 ERA in 23 games (15 starts).
The 28-year-old also appeared in one MLB playoff game for the franchise (2020).

After the Braves, Wilson went on to have stints with the Pittsburgh Pirates, Chicago White Sox, Philadelphia Phillies, Chicago Cubs (and Brewers) over nine MLB seasons.
Over 172 career games (57 starts), Wilson has gone 20-23 with a 4.79 ERA.
It will be interesting to see if another team signs him before the end of the MLB season.
