Money and patience emerged Saturday as primary factors holding up Preston Wilson's trade to the Washington Nationals. The Rockies would receive 27-year-old starting pitcher Zach Day, nearly ready to come off the 15-day disabled list, and marginal prospect J.J. Davis, a Triple-A outfielder. However, the Rockies would have to reach a compromise with Wilson on deferred compensation to prevent him from vetoing the deal. Wilson's representatives planned to have discussions with Rockies financial officers to iron out wrinkles. Colorado is expected to eat $3.3 million of the $5.58 million remaining on Wilson's contract. The veteran center fielder has been open to deferring money to facilitate his exit from the Rockies, but not without interest, which would mean he would lose salary to go to a team on his no-trade list. "I don't think that would be intelligent at all," said Wilson, merely looking to keep the value of his contract intact. "That's the stuff I am leaving to my agent. He will keep me informed." Rockies general manager Dan O'Dowd would not comment on specifics, saying only "no trade is in place." He is proceeding cautiously after Mark Kotsay's contract extension with Oakland.
