Wagner, recovering from surgery on his left arm, has been cleared to throw off a mound on Tuesday in Port St. Lucie.
"I'm going to break all the rules by getting back before they expect it," Wagner told Marty Noble of MLB.com. "I'm going to get back. I'm not going to get any saves. That could be some bullpen."
Would it ever.
Let's just imagine Wagner pitching the seventh inning for the Mets, handing that off to Putz for the eighth and then to K-Rod in the ninth. That's 694 combined saves between the three of them.
Obviously it's not set in stone that Wagner can be back this season, if at all. If he can get back though, he's still under contract with the Mets and they could use him in the bullpen if they think he can help the team.
That would be mighty interesting.
