Cardinals signed RHP Brad Penny to a one-year, $7.5 million contract.
The deal was officially announced by manager Tony La Russa on Tuesday. Penny, 31, can earn close to $9 million through performance-based incentives on the one-year contract. He posted a 4-1 record and 2.59 ERA in 2009 after returning to the National League and should only bolster a St. Louis rotation that already boasts Chris Carpenter and Adam Wainwright. |
