Though former closer Brian Wilson is not close to signing,
there has been a lot of interest in the right-hander, reports Scott Miller of
CBS Sports.
Lots of interest in Brian Wilson, source says. He's still not close to signing but has narrowed list from 9 or 10 teams to 5 or so

So far this offseason the San Francisco Giants and Los
Angeles Dodgers have been tied to Wilson, who’s reportedly narrowed his list
from nine or 10 teams to five or so.
Wilson appeared in two games for the Giants last season
before requiring season-ending Tommy John surgery. Rather than pay his
projected $8.5 million salary for 2013, San Francisco elected to non-tender the
veteran right-hander.
Over seven seasons with the Giants, Wilson owns a career ERA
and WHIP of 3.21 and 1.338 with 9.6 strikeouts and 4.0 walks per nine innings.
The 30-year-old compiled 163 saves from 2008-11 with the Giants.

I'm curious to see how he'll after the second surgery. From everything I read, the long-term prognosis after a second surgery is not nearly as good as after just one.
