The Blue Jays acquired Will Wagner from the Astros as part of the traded that saw Yusei Kikuchi head to Houston.
Wagner played in his first game yesterday with the Blue Jays and after the game spoke regarding the situation leading up to the trade. Wagner told the reporter that he did not expect to be traded on his birthday and the entire week leading up to the deadline was not informed whatsoever about a possible trade.
The 25 year old is clearly happy to be part of the Blue Jays organization but was not thrilled about how the Astros handled the situation.
Baseball is definitely a business and moments like these shows fans how organizations see players truly as just numbers.
