More Thomson chatter: Link

Quote:

It's believed the Braves have interest in Pirates first baseman/outfielder Craig Wilson, who's due $3.3 million this season and who doesn't figure to play much because of the presence of everyday players Sean Casey at first base and Jeromy Burnitz in right field. Thomson, a veteran, would seem to be just what the Pirates need to bolster a young rotation. He could slot in between opening day starter Oliver Perez and third-game starter Zach Duke. Thomson, 60-77 with a 4.69 earned run average lifetime, has a contract that expires after this season and pays him $4.75 million this year. It's thought that if the deal is a straight one-for-one transaction, the Pirates could add the extra $1.45 million to their payroll. But the trade could grow. The Braves also are believed to have some interest in right-handed reliever Salomon Torres. They could ask for him to be included in the deal, and the Pirates could counter that they'd sure like another player back from the Braves in that scenario.

I can't remember the last Brave who was mentioned in so many trade rumors... it sure seems like the Braves are determined to move him.
