Giants

Mets general manager Sandy Alderson said Sunday that he’s “not sure” if the team will offer Brian Wilson a contract.

The Mets held a private throwing session for Wilson Saturday, and USA Today’s Bob Nightengale said the team has “strong interest” in the closer. Evidently, though, it’s not even a given that they’ll extend him an offer. Wilson, of course, is coming back from Tommy John surgery but expects to be ready to go for Opening Day.

USA Today’s Bob Nightengale reports that the Mets have “strong interest” in Brian Wilson.

Nightengale notes that Mets general manager Sandy Alderson watched Wilson during a private workout Saturday. It’s not clear whether he threw off a mound during the workout, which is something he’s expected to be cleared to do soon. The Mets would give Wilson their closer job, sending Frank Francisco to a setup role. “The Beard” is reportedly drawing interest from 9-10 clubs.

The San Francisco Chronicle’s Henry Schulman reports that Brian Wilson (elbow) has completed his long-toss program and could throw off a mound soon.

So far, so good for the bearded closer, who has been told by Dr. James Andrews that he should be cleared for spring training and be ready by opening day. Schulman notes that the Giants are “still open to signing Wilson to a low base, high incentives” deal, but the righty is “keeping his deliberations on a new team close to the vest.” He’ll likely wait to sign until he shows teams he can throw off the mound with no issues.
