If the Blue Jays can unlock Valenzuela's bat, he could be a starting catcher in the future. He does have 12 homers at Double-A this season. As is, his defense can make him a backup in the big leagues down the road.

Wagner is the son of newly enshrined Hall of Famer, Billy Wagner.

He's done well as a former 18th-round pick in 2021 by the Astros.

So far this season, Wagner is batting .237, although he's been hotter of late. In his career, he's a .265 hitter.

Now, he's joining the Padres, who have been dealing all day to make a playoff push. Wagner will likely be a bench bat there.
