Angel Pagan Headed Back To San Francisco With New Deal

Giants wanted Pagan back all along

Ken Rosenthal of Fox sports is reporting that the San Francisco Giants and Angel Pagan are close to an agreement that would bring the free-agent outfielder back to the Bay Area.

The agreement is for four years and $40 million.

Pagan hit .288/.338/.440 for the Giants in 2012, and the team maintained strong interest in re-signing him.  The Philadelphia Phillies were said to be interested as well.

With Pagan off the market interest in Michael Bourn should intensify, and remember Cody Ross is still available.
