Wily Mo Pena is close to signing with the Softbank Hawks in Japan, according to a report out of the country.
Pena played in 39 games between the Diamondbacks and Mariners in 2011.
He hit 26 home runs as a 22-year-old for the Reds in 2004, but since then has been overwhelmed by Major League pitching in stints with four other teams.
