Last I heard Wagner was being used more like a Hazel Mae - gathering reports and interview clips that are inserted during the TV broadcast and dropped in wherever there's room. It's a far cry from being a play-by-play person, which is what he thought he was getting when he left the Buffalo Bisons a few years ago.

As far as I know, he's still working for Sportsnet. Whether Rogers thinks he's worth the money for what's he's currently contributing and whether they're planning to let him continue is impossible to know. I suppose a lot depends on if they ever intend to go back to a radio-only network.

But if I were Wagner, I'd be some kind of angry that his prominent perch - a nationwide radio broadcast for a major league team - was suddenly snatched away for no reason other than money. Still, it's better than what happened to Mike Wilner, who fortunately for him, landed at the Toronto Star after having what he called his "dream job" taken away after more than a decade on air.
