Mined from the comments section of MLBTR’s article covering this transaction:
”Laugh at this move today, but someone investing in giving this kid a starting job and a season to see what he really can do is worthwhile.
Look back at his playoff start against the Dodgers. Wilson has lights out stuff when it’s working, and is a great project for Bannister to work on.”
Dude sounds like he is familiar with this Wilson cat - and if this sentiment is true, this is exactly the type of guy we should be signing.
