It looks like Angel Pagan may have found a new home.

Ken Rosenthal of Fox Sports is reporting that the Washington Nationals are interested in signing the 35-year-old to a minor-league contract. Pagan had a 4-year, $40 million contract with San Francisco expire at the conclusion of last season.

Rosenthal reports that Pagan had drawn interest from the Blue Jays and Royals in the offseason, but both clubs have already found replacements.

In 129 games with the Giants in 2016, Pagan hit .277 with 12 home runs and 55 RBI, switching from center to left field following the team’s acquisition of Denard Span. He missed over a month of the 2016 season with a hamstring injury and has been hampered by various injuries during each of the past few seasons.
