The Pirates have approached infielders Jack Wilson and Freddy Sanchez about staying with the club for the foreseeable future. The move should decrease rumors that Pittsburgh could deal either of the players ahead of baseball's July 31 non-waiver trade deadline. "I'm very excited to possibly continue my career in Pittsburgh, to finish what I've started, and Freddy is going to be a vital piece of any decision I make," Wilson said. "Without Freddy, I think, it would be tough to win without a player like that." Both Wilson and Sanchez are expected to make decisions on the extension offers soon, so that the Pirates can explore trade possibilities ahead of the deadline. "I want to finish my career turning double plays with Jack in a Pirates uniform," Sanchez said. "If it works out, it would be unbelievable. This is what we've been talking about for a long time."
