Great - but aren't results all that matter?  He was bad before he got here and we tried to fix him.  We spent an entire year 'fixing' him and what did it get us.  Why does the F.O. (whom I support more than many) want to spend a second year trying to fix him when the Padres couldn't, and we already spent a year failing at it?

According to Gleeman last season:

Emilio Pagán has a 4.82 ERA and 29 homers allowed in 123 innings since 2020. During that time ... - No reliever has thrown more innings with a worse ERA - He's allowed the most home runs per nine innings of any reliever - He has the worst Win Probability Added of any reliever.

Why would we spend any time trying to fix this?  Move on.

Three years! I don't get the hubris here at all ...

He should have been traded at the deadline. We need to straight up release him and sign a better reliever. There are still several on the market that would be improvements over anything pagan has. I would replace him with either Knebel or Britton but most likely Knebel due to actually playing and not being nearly 40

Knebel is hurt and Britton is injury prone.

I meant when Knebel returns. Should have specified that

Why wait - an injured Knebel will hurt us less than a healthy Pagan?

Thinks the Mets would be interested?  We owe them a favor anyway.

Id like to see him develop a knuckleball. I simply cant be a fan of his until he throws one for a big wiff of some AAA guy in Toledo….
