Brad Penny has a new baseball team to blow up for pitch for (that would be the St. Louis Cardinals). Not only that, but he's getting paid a lot of money, too:
The Cardinals and Brad Penny have a letter of agreement, for a $7.5 million base and $1.5 in performances bonuses. Physical likely on Wed.
Are you kiddiiiiiiing me? Penny received a $5M base from the Red Sox when he was signed last offseason. I don't care what he did with the Giants -- He. Should. Not. Get. A. Raise.
Penny sticking in the National League? Story definitely checks out.
(NOTE: I am going to just ignore the fact he was pretty good with the Giants. Completely ignored.)
