Pena, Rays reach agreement on 3-year deal
Published 1/18/2008 at FOXSports.com News for MLB
Carlos Pena's breakout season also landed the American League comeback player of the year a hefty pay raise.
The 28-year-old slugger and the Tampa Bay Rays avoided arbitration, reaching a preliminary agreement on a three-year contract worth $24,125,000. Pena must pass a physical to complete the deal, which would pay him $6 million this year, $8 million next year and $10,125,000 in 2010.
Until that is finalized, the sides agreed Friday to a $6 million, one-year contract.
