Good deal for both - Buckholtz is a solid pitching prospect but the Phils are loaded and you have to give up something to get something. Wagner has 1 year left on his deal with an option for next - 8 mil this year. Phils felt he was better then Foulke and Urbina who would command about the same in the open market and made the move.

Good deal for both

With visions of Mitch Williams, Heathcliff Slocum and Jose Mesa in my head.....I love this trade.

Somewhere my Dad has a beer, his Phillies cap and a smile.
