Since getting traded to the Toronto Blue Jays at the trade deadline, it's been a very solid stretch for rookie Will Wagner.
The Toronto Blue Jays lost against the Boston Red Sox on Tuesday night at Fenway Park. The Blue Jays remain in last place in the American League East, and though they've played better lately, they are still planning for next year.
One of the guys trying to fight his way into those plans for 2025 is rookie Will Wagner, who was acquired by the Jays at the trade deadline. He was brought over from Houston in the deal that sent Yusei Kikuchi to the Astros and has made an immediate and historic impact.In total, the 26-year-old Wagner is hitting .326 this year with one homer and six RBI. He's had just 43 at-bats. He will remain a rookie through the duration of the 2024 season.
Will is the son of legendary closer Billy Wagner. He amassed 422 career saves over a 16-year career with the Astros, New York Mets, Philadelphia Phillies, Boston Red Sox and Atlanta Braves.Brady Farkas is a baseball writer for Fastball on Sports Illustrated/FanNation and the host of 'The Payoff Pitch' podcast which can be found on Apple Podcasts and Spotify.
