Hello Team Italy!

Via "brewersfarm"'s Instagram account it was noted that Pena had the 4th largest bonus in the 2024 class. Looked it up, it was $500,000, so a definite miss to not even get him stateside.

Whether Jhoanjel Saez (as listed a few posts above), or Pena, the Brewers are consistent in giving youngsters a second season before a release, even if in Peña’s case it was extremely limited due to injury (six games.). Hopefully Pena is healthy in terms of everyday life.
