Brad Penny's deal with the Softbank Hawks of Japan's Pacific League is the largest ever given to an American pitcher in his first contract with a Japanese team.
According to FOXSports.com's Ken Rosenthal, Penny will earn $4 million in 2012 with an additional $3.5 million available through performance-based incentives. The deal also includes a $4.5 million mutual option for 2013, which will become a player option if Penny throws 150 innings or wins 12 games, according to ESPN's Buster Olney. With that kind of market available to him overseas, Penny might never return to the major leagues.

The Softbank Hawks of Japan's Pacific League have signed Brad Penny to a one-year contract.
The dollar amount is not yet available. Penny failed to draw much free agent interest among major leagues teams this winter after posting an ugly 5.30 ERA and 74/62 K/BB ratio across 181 2/3 innings last year for the Tigers. He may try to return to the bigs next offseason.

Brad Penny confirmed via his Twitter account Wednesday that he "might be in Japan next week."
We learned last week that Penny was "weighing an opportunity" to pitch for the Fukuoka SoftBank Hawks of Japan's Pacific League. Japanese website Sponichi is now reporting that a deal is close. "The deal has not been finalized yet, but I hear we are in the final stages," said Fukuoka team chairman Sadaharu Oh. "We see him as a pitcher for our starting rotation." Penny wrote on his Twitter account Wednesday that while he had offers from MLB teams, he had a "much better offer in Japan." The 33-year-old right-hander had a lousy 5.30 ERA and 74/62 K/BB ratio over 181 2/3 innings last season for the Tigers.

According to Jerry Crasnick of ESPN.com, Brad Penny is "weighing an opportunity" to pitch for the Fukuoka SoftBank Hawks of Japan's Pacific League.
Crasnick previously reported that Penny was drawing interest in Japan. The 33-year-old right-hander had a lousy 5.30 ERA and 74/62 K/BB ratio over 181 2/3 innings last season for the Tigers, so he's unlikely to get anything more than a minor-league contract in the states.

Victor Martinez
Sidelined
Victor Martinez underwent microfracture surgery Friday on his left knee.
V-Mart also needs ACL reconstructive surgery, and won't undergo that for another 6-8 weeks. He has been ruled out for the 2012 season and might not be ready to begin his long road of rehab until the middle or end of this summer -- which could also affect his readiness for 2013. He batted .330/.380/.470 with 12 home runs and 103 RBI in 145 games last season for the Tigers.

Al Alburquerque
Sidelined
Danny Knobler of CBSSports.com reports that Al Alburquerque has undergone surgery to have a screw inserted into his pitching elbow to repair a non-displaced stress fracture.
He's expected to start throwing towards the end of spring training but won't be ready to pitch for the Tigers until around the All-Star break. Alburquerque spent time on the disabled list this past season with inflammation in his elbow but was brilliant after returning, not giving up a run in 15 second-half appearances. It's a significant blow to the back end of the Tigers bullpen and might have played a part in their signing of Octavio Dotel.
