Report: Red Sox claim Wagner
--- Former Mets closer would serve as setup man to Papelbon

BOSTON -- In their ongoing quest to add impactful players for the heart of
the pennant race, the Red Sox have reportedly placed a waiver claim on Mets
left-hander Billy Wagner, a six-time All-Star closer who had Tommy John elbow
ligament replacement surgery on Sept. 10, 2008.
According to Foxsports.com, which cited two Major League sources in
confirming the transaction, the Mets have until 1 p.m. ET on Tuesday to work
out a trade with the Red Sox.
If they choose not to do so, they could simply allow Wagner to be claimed by
the Red Sox without seeking compensation. The third option for the Mets would
be to pull Wagner back off waivers, meaning they would lose the right to
trade him for the remainder of the season.
Wagner does have a no-trade clause, though he indicated before Friday's
Mets-Phillies game that he'd welcome the opportunity to finish the season
with a contender.
"I think that's what every player wants to do, is play on a contender and
have a shot to go to the World Series," said Wagner. "Like we all know, I'm
not getting any younger and the window's starting to shut. You want to have
that chance, and take it if you get it."
Wagner made his first appearance since surgery on Thursday night, throwing a
scoreless inning and getting clocked as high as 96 mph on the radar gun at
Citi Field.
The lefty, as of Friday afternoon, said he hadn't been informed about a claim
by the Red Sox or any other team.
"I think yesterday kind of helped the situation, but I haven't heard
anything. I'm still just excited about yesterday," said Wagner.
Has he allowed himself to think about switching uniforms?
"I can't," said Wagner. "I've got so much ahead of me right now, I can't
think about going somewhere else. Yesterday was a big step, but I've got a
lot to work on, a lot to do to get better and help myself."
The Red Sox already have an All-Star closer in Jonathan Papelbon, so Wagner
would be used as a power lefty setup man.
By taking on Wagner, the Red Sox would be making a significant financial
investment. The veteran is owed roughly $2.7 million for the remainder of
2009, and has an $8 million option for 2010 that includes a $1 million
buyout.
The 38-year-old Wagner has pitched for the Astros, Phillies and Mets in his
career, posting a 2.40 ERA, saving 385 games and notching 1,068 strikeouts
over 819 innings. Opponents have hit .189 against him over his career.
The addition of Wagner would give the Sox yet another weapon in a loaded
bullpen that already has the likes of Hideki Okajima, Ramon Ramirez, Daniel
Bard, Manny Delcarmen and Takashi Saito working in front of Papelbon.
