Angel Pagan: Will not play this season
Angel Pagan says he will sit out the entire 2017 season to spend time with family, Steve Adams of MLB Trade Rumors reports.The veteran outfielder says he has already turned down multiple minor-league contract offers and simply wants to spend a year outside baseball. Pagan had reached a deal with the Orioles this spring before a failed physical sunk the proposition, but did compete for Puerto Rico in the World Baseball Classic. Although not officially retired, it will be a long road back for the 35-year-old if he does decide to return to the game.

Angel Pagan: Close to signing with MLB team
Toronto, San Francisco, San Diego, Atlanta and Detroit have all expressed interest in signing Angel Pagan, who's expected to make a decision in the next 48 hours, Jim Bowden of ESPN reports.It was odd that Pagan went unsigned this winter after he hit a career-high 12 homers while slashing .277/.331/.418 last year. He reportedly failed a physical when close to signing a contract with Baltimore earlier this spring, according to Jon Heyman of FanRag Sports. However, Pagan hit .303 (8-for-31) in seven games for Puerto Rico in the World Baseball Classic, seemingly putting any fears over his health to rest. There's a solid chance that he finds steady playing time once he lands with a new team.

Giants' Angel Pagan: Snaps three-game hitless streak in style
Angel Pagan went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in Friday's win over the Diamondbacks.Pagan came into Friday's game hitless in his last 13 at-bats, but Friday's homer could be a sign he is snapping out of his little funk at the plate. The home run marks his 10th of the season and he has 22 games to try and break his career high of 11. As a whole, Pagan has been a great value when healthy as a fourth or fifth outfielder in most formats considering his cheap (in some cases, free) cost to own.

Giants' Angel Pagan: Dealing with hamstring tightness
Angel Pagan went 3-for-5 with a double and an RBI in Tuesday's loss to Arizona. Alex Pavlovic of CSN Bay Area reported after the game that Pagan is dealing with hamstring tightness.Manager Bruce Bochy said that Pagan was dealing with hamstring tightness Tuesday night, but it wasn't serious enough to take him out of the game. The news is a bit concerning considering the veteran outfielder's injury history, especially when you take in to account that he already missed time with a hamstring injury this season. The hamstring tightness could affect his running, which is a part of his fantasy game. Pagan has been a valuable asset when healthy, so owners have to continue playing him until the injury forces him out of the lineup.
