Ken Rosenthal, of FOXSports.com, is reporting that an unknown team has claimed Mets' lefty Billy Wagner off of waviers.
Citing major-league sources, Rosenthal speculates that given then amount of money left on Wagner's deal, it has to be a high-revenue club as the claiming team. Wagner is owed roughly $3.6M for the year and an $8M option for 2010 ($1M buyout). At 38 years old and fresh off Tommy John surgery, Wagner made his 2009 debut Thursday, pitching a perfect 8th inning.
Wagner has a 'no-trade' clause in his deal. The Mets now have until 1pm ET Tuesday to either trade Wagner's rights or pull him off of waivers. -AE
