The White Sox traded Wilson and Yoendrys Gomez to Tampa Bay on Tuesday in exchange for Tanner Murray and Everson Pereira (back), Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
Wilson is a veteran reliever who got into a career-high 59 games with Chicago last season, recording a 3.42 ERA, 1.30 WHIP and 51:22 K:BB over 55.1 innings. He notched two saves and nine holds but was also charged with seven blown saves. Wilson should bolster Tampa Bay's relief corps but is unlikely to be a high-leverage option for the team.

Wilson allowed one earned run on one hit and one walk while striking out one over 1.1 innings to earn a hold Tuesday against the Royals.
EDGE Analysis
Wilson was the first White Sox reliever to appear after Sean Burke was pulled following 6.1 innings of work. Wilson entered the game with runners on first and second base and managed to escape the jam, but he then allowed a two-out rally before being pulled with two outs in the eighth inning. He has seemingly settled into a key setup role in the Chicago bullpen but has not gotten save chances.

The White Sox selected Wilson's contract from Triple-A Charlotte on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Wilson was removed from the 40-man roster back in February, but he's found his way back to the majors after permitting just one run with a 10:1 K:BB over 5.1 frames at Charlotte this season. He will likely operate in middle relief initially, but Wilson could work his way up the hierarchy of a talent-deficient bullpen if he gets off to a nice start.

The White Sox reassigned Wilson to minor-league camp Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Wilson was scrubbed from the 40-man roster before spring training but had a chance to make the team as a non-roster invitee. That ultimately didn't happen, even as he yielded just two runs with seven strikeouts over seven Cactus League innings. He'll head to Triple-A Charlotte to begin the season.

EDGE Analysis
Wilson had been designated for assignment last week, but he passed through waivers unclaimed and will be in major-league camp as a non-roster invitee. He posted a 5.71 ERA and 34:26 K:BB over 34.2 regular-season innings with the White Sox in 2024.

The White Sox designated Wilson (shoulder) for assignment Friday.
EDGE Analysis
The move frees up a spot on the 40-man roster for waiver claim Brandon Eisert. Wilson posted a 5.71 ERA and 34:26 K:BB over 34.2 innings with the White Sox in 2024 and missed much of the final two months of the season with back and shoulder problems. It's not clear if he's fully recovered ahead of camp.

The White Sox and Wilson (shoulder) avoided arbitration by agreeing to a one-year, $950,000 contract Thursday, Mark Feinsand of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Wilson receives a bump in pay in what was his first year of arbitration eligibility. The 30-year-old struggled mightily with his control in his first season with the White Sox, walking 26 over 34.2 innings while posting a 5.71 ERA. Wilson spent the final six weeks of the 2024 season on the injured list with a back issue, but it was a shoulder injury suffered on a rehab assignment which shut him down for the year. It's not clear whether he will be limited in spring training.

Wilson (back) was returned from his rehab assignment Sunday due to right shoulder impingement syndrome, Scott Merkin of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Wilson was originally forced to the injured list in mid-August due to a lower-back strain. He appeared to be closing in on a return, having made eight appearances during his rehab stint with Triple-A Charlotte, but the shoulder impingement will bring an early end to his campaign. Wilson posted a 5.71 ERA, 1.59 WHIP and 34:26 K:BB over 34.2 innings in his first season with the White Sox.
