2023 Fantasy Outlook
Pagan was among the candidates to close for the Padres last spring, but San Diego sent him packing in an Opening Day trade with Minnesota. Taylor Rogers' departure created a void at closer for the Twins, but Rocco Baldelli announced that the newly-acquired Pagan would be part of a committee. Showcasing an improved strikeout rate (12.0 K/9), the veteran ended up recording nine of the Twins' 16 saves through mid-June, but was ousted from closing after a string of blowups later that month. Of course, home runs were still an issue (1.7 HR/9), but Pagan issued more free passes than he ever has (3.7 BB/9) en-route to a career-worst 1.37 WHIP. He has one more year on his contract with Minnesota and is unlikely to be in the team's conversation for saves in 2023. Read Past Outlooks
