The MLB offseason has been relatively quiet since the World Series ended two weeks ago, but that may be changing soon.
MLB.com's Manny Randhawa reported this week that the Detroit Tigers and free-agent reliever Emilio Pagan have agreed to a one-year deal worth $11 million. The club has not confirmed the deal, which is pending a physical.
Pagan, 35, has 10 years of MLB experience and spent the last three seasons with the Cincinnati Reds. While he's never made an All-Star team, he's been one of the league's better relievers over the last four years, posting a 3.29 ERA with a 1.02 WHIP, 5.0 WAR and 59 saves during that time.
Pagan is a candidate to replace Kenley Jansen as the Tigers' closer, as Jansen is a free agent and appears unlikely to return. Pagan will try to help them rebound from a disappointing season where they finished 10 games below .500 and missed the playoffs.
