Hey, there’s free agency! Sure, it’s short-term, lower-end, less-sexy stuff, but at least the ball is finally rolling on this thing.
Two signings to note this morning, as reliever Emilio Pagan is signing a one-year, $11.5 million deal with the Tigers:

— Cody Stavenhagen (@CodyStavenhagen) November 11, 2026Pagan was the most-of-the-time closer for the Reds the last two years, and declined a $10 million player option in favor of a crack at free agency. He improved his take by a little bit, though he didn’t get a multi-year deal. The 35-year-old righty has been a good later-inning reliever for a little while now, and has a strikeout rate that trends up toward 30%. A healthy one-year deal makes a lot of sense to me, and it’s a reminder that this is the range of cost if you’re going to go out and buy swing-and-miss for the bullpen.
If Pagan takes over as closer for the Tigers, he’ll replace outgoing free agent Kenley Jansen, who is still an effective reliever at 39, but whose walks have started to become an issue.
Meanwhile, Ryan Weiss was the second signing of the overnight period, inking a new deal with the Padres:
The Padres are signing righty Ryan Weiss to a one year major league deal with an option for 2028, sources tell ESPN. Weiss pitched last year for Houston. Had interest around the league and a chance to return to the KBO where he pitched in 2025 but got a deal done with the Pads.
— Jesse Rogers (@JesseRogersESPN) November 11, 2026The dollars aren’t out yet, but you can presume it’s a pretty modest deal after Weiss, 29, struggled with the Astros (including at Triple-A), who declined a $5 million option. There are folks who are still big fans of the stuff, though, and he is optionable to the minors for one more year. I get why a team would want to take a chance on trying to unlock what made him so effective in Korea, even if only in relief.
