Braves finally remove retired Billy Wagner from 40-man roster

Billy Wagner announced his retirement in October and has repeatedly stated since then that he has no plans to return MBT Lami Shoes,, but the Braves kept him on the 40-man roster just in case. Today they finally removed him from the roster, but not before working out a deal to retain his rights should he decide to pitch at some point this season.

According to David O’Brien of the Atlanta Journal Constitution they “reached an agreement with union that if Wagner decided to come of retirement he could only ‘unretire’ with the Braves in 2011.” Once this season is over Wagner could potentially unretire and be a free agent, but general manager Frank Wren reiterated to MBT Chapa GTX that the greatest left-handed reliever in baseball history “still has no immediate plans to come out of retirement.”
