CINCINNATI — The Cincinnati Reds' postseason aspirations may rest on a critical decision involving reliever Emilio Pagán, according to a report published Friday by the Cincinnati Enquirer.
Columnist Gordon Wittenmyer writes that the team's handling of Pagán's situation could determine whether the Reds extend their season into the playoffs. The right-hander has been a significant contributor to the bullpen, and his status remains a focal point as the club evaluates its roster options.
The Reds are currently in contention for a playoff spot, and the front office's choice regarding Pagán's role or contract could have immediate implications for the team's championship hopes.
