nope.. i guess he just retired...

On December 2, 2009, Wagner and the Atlanta Braves agreed on a one-year contract worth $7 million that included a $6.5 million vesting option for the 2011 season.[15] On April 30, 2010, Wagner revealed that he would retire at the end of the 2010 season to spend more time with his family.[16] In a game against the Detroit Tigers on June 25, 2010, Wagner achieved his 400th career save. After the game, he told reporters that he still plans to retire after the 2010 season.[17] On Sunday, July 11, 2010, Wagner was selected as an injury replacement to the 2010 National League All Star roster. Wagner declined the invitation due to an ankle injury.[18]
He played his final major league game on October 3, 2010 and retired on a good note, striking out the final four batters he faced - the last three of which struck out looking.[19]
Wagner retired to Crozet, Virginia following the 2010 season.
On February 12, 2011, Wagner reiterated his intention to retire, stating, "I’m totally content with not playing baseball," Wagner said. "I love watching it, I love talking about it. If I miss anything, it would be some of the guys I played with and actually competing on the field, but other than that, you can keep it." [20]
On March 30, 2011, the Braves officially released Wagner.[21]
