One year later, the San Francisco Giants had a second championship and Pagan was offered a four year, $40 million contract to stay a Giant. Pagan had a career year in 154 games in 2011, with a slashline of .288/.338/.440 that included a team high 15 triples.
Pagan was never able to stay on the field after that, with injuries being the key factor in his absence in the outfield. In 2016, Pagan was moved to left field to compensate for the addition of free agent Denard Span and also improve the team’s defense.
