Sanchez, Wilson Reject Extension for Bucs

Update 7/20, 7:15 PM: According to Jenifer Langosch; Jack Wilson and Freddy Sanchez both have a desire to stay and negotiate with the Pirates. Pirates claiming "miscommunication" when the players believed the original offers to be "take-it-or-leave-it" and didn't think they were negotiable.

7/19/09:Jenifer Langosch of Mlb.com reports Both Freddy Sanchez and Jack Wilson have rejected the Pirates' contract extension, and as of Sunday, neither has come back to present a counter-offer.

But Jenifer also reports that if the Bucs don't trade Wilson and Sanchez they could almost certainly accept during the off-season.

General manager Neal Huntington:"We've not received a counter to this point, so in our minds, they are not interested in even the foundation that we've laid. The response is such that they don't even feel we are in the same ballpark because they feel like years, dollars, the foundation is so far off their expectations that it's not worth countering."
