The Tigers are interested in acquiring shortstop Jack Wilson from the Pirates, according to a baseball source.

Wilson, who the Tigers tried to pry from the Pirates roughly 16 months ago, is due $7.25 million in 2009 and $8.4 million in 2010.

"If we get the right return, then we'd move Jack," Pittsburgh general manager Neal Huntington said. "In a perfect world, you trade Jack for a young shortstop, but there may not be that scenario out there. We have to accumulate talent right now."
