Brian Wilson Upset With Giants CEO About 2012 World Series Ring

Immediately following the Dodgers 3-2 loss to the Giants, reliever Brian Wilson appeared to have a heated conversation with Giants CEO Larry Baer.
It was an odd sight as the Giants were going through their high-five line as Wilson and Baer were having a rather intense conversation. However, according to Andrew Baggarly of CSN Bay Area, Wilson isn’t too happy with the Giants organization:
A well placed source tells me Wilson is upset he still hasn’t received his 2012 World Series ring. He was communicating that to Baer.

Wilson finally made his return to San Francisco as a member of the Dodgers and only pitched in one game during the three-game series. While he was met with a mixture of boos and cheers on Tuesday, Wilson was heavily booed as he made his way to the bullpen during the 7th inning of tonight’s game.
17 months removed from Tommy John surgery, Wilson signed a one-year contract with the Dodgers as he cited his strong relationship with Dodgers manager Ned Colletti, who signed him when he was with the Giants.
When the Giants made their first appearance at Dodger Stadium, Wilson wasn’t in the mood to talk to reporters from the Bay Area or talk about his time in San Francisco.
It remains to be seen what will come of the heated conversation, but it looks like the relationship between the Giants and Wilson is strained.
UPDATE: Hank Schulman of the San Francisco Chronicle (10:55 PST):
Team officials said they repeatedly tried and got no response.
UPDATE: Andrew Baggarly of CSN Bay Area:
They finally gave up on a private meeting with Wilson and gave the ring to a Dodgers official before the club left down. He’ll have it now.
