According to the Associated Press, New York Met’s relief pitcher, Billy Wagner is being traded to the Red Sox today. They are trading him for two players which have yet to be named.

Billy has pitched two scoreless innings since returning from major surgery on his left elbow last September. Wagner said the Red Sox must guarantee that they would decline his contract option for 2010 before he would approve a potential trade. He said, “I don’t want to end my career as a setup man.”

Wagner has a no-trade in his contract, which includes an $8 million option for next year with a $1 million buyout. If his option is declined,he can become a free agent in the offseason and sign with any team.
