The Mainz Athletics are maintaining catcher Jonathan Wagner through the 2016 season. The 24-year-old batted .257 for the A’s last year, which reached the playoffs and then lost to the Bonn Capitals in the quarterfinals. He led the southern division of the German Baseball-Bundesliga with 11 caught stealings. He transferred from the Stuttgart Reds to Mainz last winter. In 2013 he had played for the Mannheim Tornados. He hopes to stay with the A’s long-term.
