The Rangers are familiar with veteran Wilson, since he spent part of 2015 with them (and was also drafted by Texas in 2002). He'll provide catching depth and some insurance, replacing fellow vet Chris Gimenez (designated for assignment) in the process.

The Tigers felt comfortable with Jarrod Saltalamacchia as the backup to James McCann (who recently returned from a stint on the disabled list), so they decided to move Wilson and take a chance on Bell, a journeyman lefty who can both start and relieve.

There isn't much fantasy value to speak of here, as Wilson will continue to serve as a depth catcher and Bell is a midling prospect without much upside.
