Wilson was traded to the Yankees on Wednesday in exchange for catcher Francisco Cervelli, Joel Sherman of the New York Post reports.
Wilson tossed 60 innings for the Pirates in 2014, but more than doubled his ERA from 2013, as he saw it rise to 4.20. His strikeout rate improved a bit, but the left-hander had a high walk rate (4.50), and allowed more HR/9 (.60) than he has in any of his MLB season. He'll serve as depth in the Yankee bullpen, and likely won't pitch in high leverage situations out of the gates.
