Billy Wagner Is Done – For Good

September 8, 2008
By

The Mets have announced that Billy Wagner will have Tommy John surgery to repair a torn MCL in his left elbow, possibly ending his career. Recovery time is approximately one year.

Wagner, 37, has one year and $10.5 million left on his contract, signed before the 2006 season, and the Mets hold an $8 million option for 2010. Wagner’s 385 career saves — 101 of them with the Mets — rank him sixth in baseball history.

This is awesome for the Phillies and those of us who can’t stand the Mets, as Wagner is was as good as it gets.

Boo hoo.
