It’s almost impossible to imagine the San Francisco Giants being void of their “Beard” but with only a couple days left until Friday’s deadline to offer Brian Wilson a contract, things aren’t looking the greatest.

Coming off his second Tommy John operation, the Giants had hoped to retain their eccentric closer on an incentive laden deal, but Wilson doesn’t seem as interested in that – especially since the premium on closers is quite high. Add in the fact that Wilson returning to his closer role is unknown with the emergence (if you will) of Sergio Romo, the once almost foregone conclusion that Wilson would return seems iffy right now:
Sources say the Giants do not want to see Wilson go and hope a deal can be struck, though one source indicated the Giants and Wilson have not seen eye to eye on how to proceed.
