Ex-Giants star Angel Pagan sitting out entire '17 MLB season, but not officially retiring

Free-agent outfielder Angel Pagan, who was a key member of two San Francisco Giants World Series teams, told the Puerto Rican newspaper El Vocero that he has decided not to sign with any franchise for the 2017 major league season, although he left the door open for a possible return in 2018.

Pagan, speaking in an interview published by El Vocero on Wednesday, said that he's taking time off to spend more time with his family, but not officially retiring.

"I am now dedicating myself to focusing more on my family," Pagan told the paper.
