Morning Buzz: Wilson, CC, AJ, Lowe and Furcal

The Star-Ledger reports the Pirates will trade SS Jack Wilson to the Tigers, however Tigers GM Dave Dombrowski told MLB.com, “That report is not accurate.  I can 100 percent tell you that.”

The Yankees will meet with free-agent RHP CC Sabathia prior to the Winter Meetings, which begin next Monday as will the Brewers, according to ESPN.com.

The Braves are the front-runners for A.J. Burnett, explains Jayson Stark at ESPN.com.

Yesterday, reports indicated the Braves will get Burnett if they guarantee a fifth year to their offer.

Stark also reports the Phillies have very little chance of signing free-agent RHP Derek Lowe.

Lastly, according to Stark, only the Dodgers, A’s and O’s are the only teams showing interest in SS Rafael Furcal.
