Pirates Cut Off Talks With Sanchez, Wilson
Oct 6, 2014 11:32 PM
The Pirates have cut off talks with Freddy Sanchez and Jack Wilson after the duo didn't respond to multiyear offers.
The decision increases the likelihood that Pittsburgh will trade the double-play tandem.
Discussions could resume if the agents for the shortstop and second baseman make counter proposals to the Pirates, but general manager Neal Huntington cautioned that the team will not move far off the two-year offers made last week.
"We've not received a counter at his point, so for our minds, they're not interested even in the foundation we've laid," Huntington said Sunday. "Typically in a negotiation you get a counter offer and that's how conversations continue, and we haven't gotten that."
