Wilson is highly likely to be traded sometime Sunday with the Cubs currently the frontrunner, Ken Rosenthal of Fox Sports reports.
EDGE Analysis
Rosenthal added that the Dodgers, Nationals and Astros are also in the mix for the Tigers' closer, though Chicago is currently the most likely landing spot. Wilson is 13-for-15 in save opportunities this year and sports a 2.68 ERA, 16:13 BB:K AND 0.94 WHIP through 40.1 innings, so it's no surprise that a handful of contending teams are interested in his services. Stay tuned -- likely for a trade announcement Sunday or Monday.

Wilson pitched a scoreless inning while allowing one hit to earn his 13th save Saturday against the Astros.
EDGE Analysis
Wilson was protecting a two-run lead, and despite allowing a base runner, he shut the door on the Astros to pick up the save. He's recorded six saves this month, and he has an outstanding 2.68 ERA and 0.94 WHIP on the season, so he should continue to be a strong fantasy option at closer.

Wilson recorded three strikeouts over 1.1 innings to collect his 12th save of the season during Sunday's win over Minnesota.
EDGE Analysis
Wilson did serve up a solo home run to Brian Dozier in the ninth frame, but he was still able to hold on to record the save. He's shown flashes of inconsistency, but for the most part, Wilson has got the job done closing out games. After all, the 29-year-old lefty now sports a 2.82 ERA, 0.97 WHIP, 12.8 K/9 and has converted 12 of 14 save opportunities this season.

Wilson walked one and struck out one in a scoreless ninth inning Friday to pick up his 11th save of the season in a 6-3 win over the Twins.
EDGE Analysis
The left-hander bounced back nicely from Wednesday's blown save. Wilson now has a 2.45 ERA, 0.68 WHIP and 7:3 K:BB in seven July appearances (7.1 innings) and is keeping his market value high if the Tigers decide to flip him to a contender at the trade deadline.

Wilson recorded two outs and gave up two runs on a hit, a walk and a walkoff sacrifice fly by Alex Gordon in the bottom of the ninth inning of Wednesday's 4-3 loss to the Royals.
EDGE Analysis
It's just his second blown save of the year in 12 opportunities, and the first runs Wilson has allowed since June 20. The left-hander still has a 2.75 ERA, 0.94 WHIP and 12.5 K/9 on the year, and if the Tigers decide to hold a fire sale at the trade deadline he could be viewed by contenders as this year's Andrew Miller.

Wilson tossed a perfect ninth-inning against the Blue Jays on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Wilson continues to pitch well in ninth-inning role, earning his eighth-straight appearance without allowing a run after shutting down the side during the series finale. The southpaw hasn't lost a game since June 20, and has been able to record a strikeout during every game in this span. Throughout the course of the season, Wilson has posted a 2.29 ERA with a WHIP below 1.00 and a remarkable 12.8 K/9 during high-leverage opportunities.

Wilson recorded a five-out save Sunday against the Indians. He allowed one hit, one walk and struck out one.
EDGE Analysis
Wilson entered in the eighth inning in relief of Shane Greene, whose exit was prompted by back-to-back walks. The Tigers' closer is now up to 10 saves in 11 opportunities this year and appears comfortable in a ninth-inning role despite having virtually no closing experience in his first five big-league campaigns.

Wilson pitched a perfect ninth with one strikeout in Tuesday's 5-3 win over San Francisco, earning his ninth save.
EDGE Analysis
Wilson has earned saves in four of his last five appearances after going more than three weeks in June without one (through little fault of his own). The lefty closer's ratios are terrific, so he's capable of being a borderline-elite bullpen arm if the Tigers can just get him save chances more consistently.

Wilson pitched a clean ninth inning with two strikeouts to pick up his eighth save of the season Saturday against the Indians.
EDGE Analysis
He needed just 14 pitches to take care of Lonnie Chisenhall, Carlos Santana, and Brandon Guyer en route to his fourth consecutive clean outing. Wilson continues to be one of the few bright spots in the Detroit bullpen with 46 strikeouts in 30.2 innings and a 2.64 ERA. Given that he's already pitched Saturday, the Tigers may opt to go with someone else if a save situation arises in Game 2 of their doubleheader against the Indians. That said, he figures to be available again Sunday if the Tigers need him to close things out.

Wilson struck out two in a perfect ninth inning Tuesday to record his seventh save of the season in a 5-3 win over the Royals.
EDGE Analysis
After going most of the month of June without sniffing a save chance, Wilson has now converted two in consecutive appearances. The left-hander's 43:12 K:BB in 29.1 innings is excellent, but he'll need the Tigers to start stringing together more wins if his strong performance this season is going to translate into more saves in the second half.
