Billy Wagner available?

[Schwarber Fan]

According to the New York Daily News, the Mets, fading quickly from postseason contention, might consider trading reliever Billy Wagner and first baseman Carlos Delgado before the August 31 postseason-roster deadline.

 

Both Wagner (elbow) and Delgado (hip) are on the disabled list, and both will be free agents after this season.

I'm fairly sure Wagner is out for the year. He underwent TJS.

They actually say he should be back in a few weeks, but that doesnt mean he'll stay off the DL for any leangth of time.

If Wagner's going to be healthy for next season, I'd be interested in him in the offseason. He might be a decent buy low option with a high upside.

I'm all for it next season, at worst we get an upgrade over Heilman and he won't command a big contract coming off the arm troubles.

Exactly. If he'd sign for a couple million tops we'd at worst have a decent reliever and at best have a cheap, really good closer.

A 39 year old coming off TJS is not at worst a decent reliever.

Agreed. I think that's the best case scenario, not the worst.

I didn't realize he was 39, he still looks like he is 18.

So did Biggio at that age. There's something in the Houston water.

So maybe the move to Flushing Meadows forced him to age 20 years in a hurry.

He'll actually only be 38, but yeah I didn't realize he was that old either. I was thinking 34-35 at most.

 

He was really good through last year, though. At 36 he posted a 2.30 ERA with an 0.894 WHIP and a 52:10 K:BB ratio in 47 IP. I don't think the best we could expect would be a decent reliever, but much more may be a bit of a stretch.
