«I'm just going to fit in wherever I can fit in,» Wagner said Saturday. «I want to play as many positions as I can to help the team win. I don't think it's difficult. I like moving around. I think the more positions you play, the more you help the team. I'm just trying to play everywhere right now so I can get used to it.» Will Wagner
Some have suggested that Wagner may try to play third base as the Blue Jays were unsuccessful in acquiring now Boston Red Sox 3rd basement Alex Bregman who had just signed a three-year deal with the Blue Jays archrival.

Blue Jays manager John Schneider had good things to say about him and that he feels confident that Wagner will improve his position over time after undergoing a minor knee procedure in September.
«He has good instincts and a good feel for the game,» Jays manager John Schneider said. «What he needs to work on is moving side to side. I think the version of Will that we saw last year, both in the box and in the field, we're going to see a better version of that after getting the knee taken care of.» John Schneider
