Mariners infielder Josh Wilson, outrighted to Class AAA last Friday, has declined to accept that assignment and opted instead to become a free agent. Wilson hit .250 in 45 games for the Mariners this past season. He was primarily a backup infielder but got into far more games than expected because of injury, earning the nickname "Hack'' for his uncanny pow...

During this recent Josh Wilson hot streak, in which he’s filled in nicely for injured shortstop Jack Wilson, I’ve heard some crazy things.

As noted below, the Seattle Mariners have claimed MIF Josh Wilson off waivers from the San Diego Padres.
