#cincinnatireds BOLSTER Bullpen By Bringing Back Emilio Pagan

The Cincinnati Reds needed to bolster the end of their bullpen and they did so with Amelio. Amelio Pagan is back and the Reds get him on a deal that I kind of think is a good one. At least based on early offseason reporting and folks speculating on contracts and things like that. Alio Pagan is getting $10 million per year for the next two years and I kind of thought he’d get closer to 15. So I thought he was priced out of the Red’s range. Really happy to be wrong about that. And I feel better about the bullpen today than I did yesterday. Now Tony Santion can slot back into the eighth inning role. He can still be the closer if the Reds need him to be if for some reason Alio Pagan fades or something like that. But it doesn’t have to be him from the word go. And I think that this is an important move because it sets them up for the rest of this off season. Now the Reds can feel good about some of their younger arms and guys that can prove it in this bullpen and they can spend the rest of that money on a big bat. Maybe Kyle Schwarber. I mean they could free up a little bit of money and get Kyle Schwarber. I could see that happening. But I love the fact that Amelio Pagan is back one more time. Almelio.
