MLB-Chicago Cubs Fill in First Base Position

Chicago Cubs met up with free agent Carlos Pena at the Winter Meetings and decided to sign him for a year, giving him 10 million dollars. Pena seemed pretty happy with the deal and even said that he was excited to play for the city of Chicago. He can see that we are hungry for a championship and claims that Cubs were his first team because of how much interest they showed to sign him. I am pretty excited him to see him in blue, white, and red, but this was not the best deal that Cubs could have made. Once again, they mess up a chance on someone like Jason Werth, but it's not as bad as the idiotic moves they made in the past. This deal will allow them to sign Pena for a longer period of time, but if he is a fluke, they won't be stuck with him. Overall this will be exciting to see a American League All-Star, Gold Glove first baseman and Silver Slugger Award winner on the Chicago Cubs.
