Pena Signs Two Year Deal

The Nationals and Wily Mo Pena have reached a preliminary agreement on a two-year, $7 million contract, according to ESPN.com.
Pena would have been a free agent after next season. This protects the Nationals if he breaks through as a regular left fielder, though he may not be completely guaranteed a starting job out of spring training.

If he's not guaranteed a starting job then Acta is just dumb. He's 25 and excelled in Washington. Nats need him to help protect Zimmerman. Good signing.

The Washington Post says Wily Mo Pena's deal with the Nats is for one year and a dual option.
It was initially reported as a straight two-year deal last night. Pena will make $2 million next year. The Nats will hold a $5 million option for 2009. If that's declined, Pena can exercise a player option for $2 million.

Still a good signing.

Not a bad deal, I agree that Pena should start though.
