Back with Reds Pagan signed a two-year, $20 million contract with the Reds on Wednesday, Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reports.

Impact Pagan thrived as the Reds' primary closer this past season, posting a 2.88 ERA and 0.92 WHIP alongside an 81:22 K:BB across 68.2 innings while converting a career-high 32 saves. Assuming the Reds don't make another move for a high-leverage reliever, the 31-year-old righty will presumably maintain his hold on ninth-inning opportunities in Cincinnati.

Notches 30th save Pagan turned in a perfect ninth inning in Thursday's 2-1 win over the Pirates to earn his 30th save.

Impact Pagan's converted his last four save chances while holding opponents scoreless in his last eight innings -- he's allowed just four hits while striking out eight in that span. The veteran right-hander sports a 2.97 ERA with a 0.95 WHIP and 79 strikeouts across 66.2 innings this season.

Earns 29th save Pagan earned the save in Saturday's 6-3 win over the Cubs, allowing one hit and striking out one in a scoreless ninth inning.

Impact Pagan was called on to protect a three-run lead in the ninth and needed just 13 pitches to secure his second save in as many days. Since blowing a save to open the month Sept. 1, the 34-year-old has converted three straight opportunities while allowing only one earned run over his past eight outings. For the season, he's 29-for-35 in save chances with a 3.06 ERA, 0.94 WHIP and 78:21 K:BB across 64.2 innings.

Secures 28th save Pagan gave up a hit in a scoreless ninth inning Friday to record his 28th save of the season in a 7-4 win over the Cubs.

Impact The 34-year-old right-hander has already set a new career high in saves, but with eight games left on the Reds' schedule, Pagan's got a shot at his first 30-save campaign. Opportunities have been hard to come by of late however -- over the last month, he has a 3.18 ERA, 0.97 WHIP and 17:1 K:BB through 11.1 innings, but Pagan's managed just three saves in four chances.

Tallies 27th save Pagan secured the save Tuesday against the Padres, striking out one in a clean ninth inning.

Impact It was Pagan's first save of the month of September and his 27th of the year. The 34-year-old right-hander has been rather shaky of late -- he has a 5.02 ERA in 15 appearances since the start of August -- but he appears to still have the trust of manager Terry Francona as the team's closer. Through 60.2 innings, Pagan has a 3.26 ERA, 0.94 WHIP and 73:20 K:BB.

Surrenders two homers in blown save Pagan blew the save in Monday's 5-4 win over Toronto, allowing three runs on three hits and no walks with no strikeouts in one-third of an inning.

Impact It was the second time this year that Pagan served up multiple home runs, and he's now converted only one of his last four save chances. It's worth wondering if the 34-year-old right-hander's hold on the closer role is slipping a bit -- Pagan has a 6.10 ERA, 1.35 WHIP and 12:5 K:BB across his last 10.1 innings. That said, the door could be opening for the likes of Tony Santillan and Scott Barlow to step in for additional save opportunities. Santillan has a 2.13 ERA since the start of August, and Barlow owns a 1.26 ERA over that same stretch.
