For a lot of the offseason, the Orioles looked to be in desperate need of outfield help. One player who looked like he would be a good guy to bring in to the mix is recent Giants outfielder Angel Pagan. The Orioles did try to bring him in, FanRag’s Jon Heyman now reports, but Pagan didn’t pass the dreaded Orioles physical, so there was no deal and Pagan is still looking for work.
Heyman says that it is unknown when this physical happened or what the issue was. For all we know, it could have been all the way back early in December before the team pulled off the trade for outfielder Seth Smith.
