Former San Francisco Giants outfielder Angel Pagan will not be playing in MLB this season.
Pagan, 35, was a hot commodity after a great showing at the World Baseball Classic this spring, but he has chosen to spend more time with his family.
The two-time World Series champion did not officially retire, leaving the door open for a possible 2018 return.
"I am now dedicating myself to focusing more on my family," Pagan said on Wednesday.
"Devoting the time that my family deserves. I've spent a lot of time away from home."
Pagan became a free agent this offseason after playing for the Giants since 2012.
