2025 Fantasy Outlook
Pagan exercised his $8 million player option for 2025 after he missed the first half of last season due to a lat injury. Upon his return, he filled a high-leverage role out of Cincinnati's bullpen, racking up four wins, eight holds and one save across his 38 appearances. While the veteran right-hander's performance declined and his homer-prone tendencies returned (1.4 HR/9), he still managed to produce strikeout and whiff rates that were above league average. Now that Terry Francona is managing the Reds, Pagan may get the opportunity to overtake Alexis Diaz for closing duties, as he's handled the role before (33 career saves) and his career 1.09 WHIP is slightly better.

Converts 24th save
Pagan notched a save against the Cubs on Monday, striking out two batters in a perfect inning of work.
Analysis
Pagan entered in the ninth inning with Cincinnati up 3-2. He battled for a seven-pitch strikeout of Seiya Suzuki, then fanned Carson Kelly on six pitches before getting Willi Castro to ground out to end the game. Pagan had given up four runs (three earned) over his previous three appearances, so this was a much-needed smooth outing for him. The right-hander is up to 24 saves on the season, tied for seventh-most in the majors.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2024

2019
2018
Pagan rebounded in a big way in 2023 with an impressive 2.99 ERA, 0.95 WHIP and 65:21 K:BB over 69.1 innings for Minnesota. The 32-year-old vastly improved his ability to keep the ball inside the park, as his 0.65 HR/9 was the best mark of his career. However, Pagan's home run issues could resurface in his new home park, as the veteran recently joined Cincinnati on a multi-year pact. The right-hander is currently in line for setup duties, but with 32 career saves, he has the experience to occasionally spell closer Alexis Diaz in the ninth inning.

Latest Fantasy Rumors

Receiving interest from Reds
The Reds are among the teams showing interest in Pagan, Jon Heyman of the New York Post reports.
Analysis
Pagan would seem to be a poor fit for Great American Ball Park given his extreme flyball tendencies. The 32-year-old is coming off a terrific 2023 season, though, having collected a 2.99 ERA, 0.95 WHIP and 65:21 K:BB over 69.1 frames. He should be able to land a multi-year pact this winter.
