Will Wagner, the son of All-Star closer Billy Wagner, became the fourth player in Toronto Blue Jays history to notch a three-hit performance in his MLB debut on Monday.
The Toronto Blue Jays have made a habit of promoting baseball legacies over the past few years, and another one reached the big leagues Monday.
Wagner got the start at second base against the Los Angeles Angels on Monday night, and he wound up taking a historic first step towards building a legacy of his own. Outfielder Joey Loperfido and right-handed pitcher Jake Bloss also made their way to Toronto as part of that deal. Loperfido joined the Blue Jays right away, while Bloss went to Triple-A Buffalo and is now ranked as Toronto's No. 3 prospect.
