"The Cubs are set to give Bryan LaHair a chance to be their next first baseman. Meanwhile, Carlos Pena moved back to his former team.

Pena agreed to terms on a one-year, $7.25 million deal Friday with the Tampa Bay Rays, pending a physical. The salary is less than the $10 million Pena made in his one season with the Cubs.

Pena, 33, hit .225 with 28 home runs and 80 RBI for the Cubs. That was similar to his season with the Rays in 2010, when he had 28

homers and 84 RBI but hit .196.

Pena also drew interest from the Cleveland Indians and New York Yankees but chose to return to the team where he had his best success and where he was a popular player. He played four seasons with the Rays (2007-10) and was a member of two playoff teams (2008, when he won a Gold Glove and was voted American League comeback player of the year, and 2010). His best

offensive season came in 2008, when he hit .282 with 46 homers and 121 RBI."
