The Hanwha Eagles of the Korea Baseball Organization have re-signed righty Félix Peña (h/t to Jeeho Yoo of Yonhap News). The former big leaguer will collect a $200K signing bonus and a $650K salary with an additional $200K available in incentives.
Peña has spent a year and a half in Korea. He first signed with the Eagles midway through the 2022 campaign. After posting a 3.72 ERA down the stretch, he re-signed on an $850K guarantee last winter. Peña was a durable rotation piece for the Eagles, taking the ball 32 times and tossing 177 1/3 innings. He worked to a 3.60 ERA despite a middling 19.6% strikeout rate.
The 6’2″ righty pitched for the Cubs and Angels over an MLB career that spanned 2016-21. His best season came with the Halos in 2018, when he turned in a 4.18 ERA over 92 2/3 innings. Peña has allowed 4.66 earned runs per nine over his 260 2/3 career big league frames. He’ll turn 34 in February.
and will always be fondly remembered by Angels for finishing off the “45” no-hitter.
Good for him.
Halos bring him back by All Star break… 5yrs/60mil.
Why is he pictured in a Mets uniform? Per the baseball reference link he never was on the Mets. And the BBREF picture also has him wearing a Mets hat. What’s up with that?
he actually pitched for the Mets AAA team in ‘22 for a little while
Thanks. Then maybe those are ST pictures. Because that’s not a Syracuse uni.
