Pena Signs
Quote:
FORT MYERS, Fla. (AP) -- The Boston Red Sox and outfielder Wily Mo Pena reached agreement on a one-year contract shortly before they were to go to arbitration on Friday.
Details of the one-year deal were not announced. Pena,
who earned $1.25 million last year, asked for $2.2 million while the team offered $1,725,000. The agreement avoided an arbitration hearing scheduled for Friday in Phoenix.
"We certainly weren't afraid to go" to the hearing, general manager Theo
Epstein said, but "both sides are satisfied."

I like the deal, we didn't have to pay too much. Willie Mo is a solid player and I think he will keep improving on his numbers. Expect more homers.
