Pirates Had Interest in Betemit

From Ed Price:

Before Wilson Betemit went on the disabled list with a corneal ulcer, the Yankees had been talking about trading him to the Pittsburgh Pirates. According to an official from another team, who asked not to be named because his club was not directly involved, Pittsburgh was interested in Betemit as its every-day third baseman. Pirates third base­man Jose Bautista is batting .169.

Let's hope Wilson can get healthy so we can ship him off to Pittsburgh, or Japan, or any place that will take this wasted roster spot off our hands.
