Billy Wagner pitched another scoreless inning of relief and there are rumors that he could return as soon as Sunday. I'd still like to see Wags return next year as the left handed set-up man for K-Rod but I'll concede that it's not very likely. The real question is whether Wags will be traded before Aug. 31st or if the Mets will pick-up his option and trade him in the off-season. I don't believe he will warrant a draft pick, so in just letting him go they will not receive any compensation.John Ricco, the Mets’ assistant general manager, said the team was still evaluating Wagner’s status and would map out more of a schedule after Friday’s outing. But Ricco also indicated that Wagner, 11 months removed from reconstructive elbow surgery, would not be required to pitch on consecutive days before being activated. source NY Times
