Ben Wagner has landed on his feet with the Baltimore Orioles as we noted here earlier this month. But getting there was definitely not half the fun. Not only does Wagner still not know why his contract wasn't renewed, he learned about his replacement from a press release sent by Rogers, which had somehow failed to take him off their mailing list. 

But it didn't end there. 

“(Sportsnet) can be a joke with the way they handle their people and it is clear that radio is such a diminished property for them,” a source familiar with Wagner’s tenure at Sportsnet said. “For a company in the broadcasting and communications business, it sometimes seems like they just don’t get it. They certainly treated radio as an afterthought. And the way they handled (Wagner’s) situation was deplorable. Ben deserved better and it’s good to see him getting the opportunity.”

Whether you loved or hated him behind the mic, he should have received a better ending than the one he got. Fortunately for him, he found a new beginning.
