Ken Rosenthal and Jon Paul Morosi have all the latest news and notes.The 31-year-old Wilson, an All-Star in 2004, becomes Seattle's third everyday shortstop this season. "This was an opportunity for us to acquire a veteran shortstop, a former All-Star player, with leadership qualities and above-average defensive skills," Mariners general manager Jack Zdurienick said. "As we move forward over the next few years it is nice to know that we have solidified the shortstop position." The Mariners also think Snell can restart his stalled career. The 27-year-old Snell had a 0.96 ERA in six starts with Triple-A Indianapolis, after starting the season 2-8 with a 5.36 ERA in 15 starts for Pittsburgh.What are the Pirates doing?
