Rays bring back slugger Pena for one year

Via Fox Sports Florida  |  January 20, 2012
Carlos Pena is returning to the Tampa Bay Rays. Early Friday afternoon, the 33-year-old free agent, who played in 2011 for the Chicago Cubs, signed a one-year, 7.25-million deal to resume his role as the Rays first baseman. Pena hit .225 for Chicago with 28 homers and 80 RBI last season, following his final year with Tampa Bay in 2010 when he batted .196 with 28 homers and 84 RBI...

Yankees lose DH option as Carlos Pena signs with the Rays

Via Bronx Baseball Daily  |  January 20, 2012
One of the Yankees better DH options came off the board today as Carlos Pena signed with the Tampa Rays, according to Jon Heyman of CBS Sports. The Yankees did have talks with him, but those talks were initiated by Pena’s agent as they never appeared to be seriously interested in him. Pena’s numbers look bad because of his low batting average, but he still gets on base...

Pena heading back to Tampa

Via Ted's Army  |  January 20, 2012
Carlos Pena is coming back to Tampa.  He and the Rays have reportedly agreed to a one-year, $7.25 million deal.  And while this may strike some fear in the hearts of Red Sox Nation, I think the reign of Carlos the Powerful is done. While Pena is good with the glove, and can still hit a few home runs, his bat isn't nearly as mighty as it once was.  Go take a...

Tampa Bay Rays Add Carlos Pena

Via hardballchat.com  |  January 20, 2012
The Tampa Bay Rays spent most of the offseason under the radar. They signed Matt Moore to a long-term extension, added Fernando Rodney to their bullpen, and made a trade for Burke Badenhop. I know you are stimulated. Well, they finally got off the sidelines and into the game by adding first baseman Carlos Pena. Pena will help immediately by filling the first base hole and allowing...

Pena to the Rays: So Now What, Tribe Fans?

Via Waiting For Next Year  |  January 20, 2012
Oh how I love writing pieces on the Tribe and their seemingly never-ending search for that middle of the order bat. Wait, I should rephrase it, because it has changed so many times. When the season ended, it was “the search for the right-handed, middle of the order, run-producing, power bat.” Then as a month or two went by and the options of right-handed bats on the free...

Carlos Pena is going back to Tampa

Via Where Is Andy Van Slyke  |  January 20, 2012
Carlos Pena is headed back to the Rays on a one-year/$7.25 million deal, Jon Heyman is reporting today. That's less than the $10 million he made with the Cubs last year. The Pirates never even feigned interest in Pena this winter (at least not as near as I could tell), and so it's probably not worth wondering what they would've had to pay him to come to Pittsburgh. Between...
