CINCINNATI — The Reds are signing veteran reliever Emilio Pagan to a two-year contract according to Jon Heyman of the New York Post. 

The deal is worth $16 million and includes a player option after the first year according to Ken Rosenthal. 

The 32-year-old appeared in 66 games for the Twins last season, posting a 2.99 ERA and a 0.95 WHIP. He has a 3.71 ERA in seven major league seasons. He's also spent time with the Mariners, Athletics, Rays and Padres.
