MONDAY: The two-year deal could be worth more than $5MM with incentives, according to Jon Heyman of SI.com (on Twitter).
SUNDAY: Pena's deal is expected to be for two years with a seven-figure annual salary, an industry source tells Alex Speier of WEEI.com. The contract will allow Pena to hit the open market after his age 31 season.
SATURDAY: Slugger Wily Mo Pena is nearing a multi-year, multi-million dollar deal with Japan's Fukuoka Softbank Hawks, MLBTR has learned. Pena played in 17 games for the Diamondbacks and 22 games for the Mariners in 2011.
Pena, 29, drew the attention of several clubs after he was cut by the Diamondbacks in July. Across eight major league seasons, Pena owns a .250/.303/.445 slash line with 84 homers.
The Hawks are the defending 2011 Japan Series champions and featured a handful of former big leaguers on their squad including Brian Falkenborg and Jose Ortiz.
