Winners & Losers From Relatively Uneventful Winter Meetings

Winners

1. Brad Penny: He gets 750 million pennies ($7.5 million) and a chance to make another 150 million pennies ($1.5 million) in incentives. It's all like pennies from heaven for a fellow who is coming off a season in which he remained out of shape and got designated for assignment by Boston midway through. The man never ceases to amaze. (It's hard to believe he ever dated Alyssa Milano, too.) Legacy of Sport agents (Greg Genske, Brian Peters and Scott Parker) actually get the credit here for taking advantage of the fact the Cardinals were fixated on doing a one-year deal with someone. Things usually end up working out for St. Louis, but the Cards have given themselves a challenge here.
