The White Sox marked one more player off their arbitration list Monday when they signed right-handed reliever Tony Pena to a one-year, $1.2 million contract.
Pena, 28, went 1-2 with a 3.75 ERA, one save and 29 strikeouts in 35 relief appearances last season with the White Sox after being acquired from the D-backs on July 7 in exchange for Minor Leaguer Brandon Allen. Pena combined to go 6-5 with a 3.99 ERA and 55 strikeouts in 72 games in 2009.
Since the start of the 2007 season, Pena ranks fifth in baseball with 66 holds. The White Sox have only one more arbitration-eligible player remaining: left-handed starter John Danks.
