Goes deep Thursday Wagaman went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run in an extra-inning loss to the Cubs on Thursday.

Impact Wagaman didn't start the contest, but he was called upon to pinch hit for MJ Melendez with a runner on second base in the sixth inning. That substitution worked out well for New York, as Wagaman clubbed a two-run homer to left field to give the team its first runs of the game. The long ball was the second of the season for Wagaman, who has seen sporadic playing time while up with the big-league club. He's started just twice in the Mets' past eight contests.

The Minnesota Twins have acquired first baseman Eric Wagaman from the Miami Marlins for minor league pitcher Kade Bragg

JANUARY 2 • Associated Press

Traded to Minnesota The Twins acquired Wagaman from the Marlins on Friday in exchange for Kade Bragg.

Impact Wagaman had been designated for assignment earlier this week and is now on the move to a new club.

The right-handed-hitting Wagaman sported a .283/.321/.462 batting line against lefties in 2025, so much of his playing time in Minnesota could come versus southpaws.
