WILL WAGNER SENT TO SAN DIEGO
The San Diego Padres acquired infielder Will Wagner from the Toronto Blue Jays for catcher Brandon Valenzuela.
What does it give the San Diego Padres
The Padres added several bats before the trade deadline this year, so Wagner is likely going to serve mainly as a backup with San Diego. He was seeing time at third base in Toronto.
What does it give the Toronto Blue Jays
The Blue Jays were using Wagner fairly regularly, so trading him is a bit of a surprise. Valenzuela is a 24-year-old switch-hitting catcher who should be considered a good prospect.
Fantasy impact
Wagner's fantasy stock should drop considerably now that he has moved to San Diego. This would be a good time to sell Wagner. Valenzuela maintains his stock as a solid catching prospect who might be ready for MLB by next season.
