Penny signs one-year deal to play in Japan
Brad Penny - S - Detroit Tigers
Feb. 5, 2012 - 10:20 AM ET

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.
